    The de-Broglie wavelength\[({{\lambda }_{B}})\]associated with the electron orbiting in the second excited state of hydrogen atom is related to that in the ground state\[({{\lambda }_{G}})\]by [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A)  \[{{\lambda }_{B}}={{\lambda }_{G/3}}\]                      

    B) \[{{\lambda }_{B}}={{\lambda }_{G/2}}\]

    C) \[{{\lambda }_{B}}=2{{\lambda }_{G}}\]            

    D) \[{{\lambda }_{B}}=3{{\lambda }_{G}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     de-Broglie wavelength \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\] \[mvr=\frac{nh}{2\pi }\] \[\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{2\pi r}{n}\] \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi r}{n}\] \[r={{a}_{0}}\frac{{{n}^{2}}}{Z}\] \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi {{a}_{0}}n}{Z}\] As the atom is hydrogen Z = 1 \[{{\lambda }_{B}}=\frac{2\pi {{a}_{0}}3}{Z}\] \[{{\lambda }_{G}}=\frac{2\pi a0}{Z}\] \[{{\lambda }_{B}}=3{{\lambda }_{G}}\]
