When the electron orbiting in hydrogen atom in its ground state moves to the third excited state, show how the de Broglie wavelength associated with it would be affected.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know,
de Broglie wavelength,
`lambda = ( h )/( p ) = ( h )/ ( mv ) rArr lambda prop ( 1)/( v)`
Also `v prop ( 1)/( n ) `
`:. ` de Broglie wavelength will increase.
