The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the radius of the electron orbit to the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it in the nth orbit of a hydrogen atom, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding de-Broglie Wavelength**: The de-Broglie wavelength (λ) of an electron is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( m \) is the mass of the electron, and \( v \) is its velocity. 2. **Angular Momentum in Bohr's Model**: According to Bohr's model, the angular momentum (L) of the electron in the nth orbit is quantized and given by: \[ L = mvr = n \frac{h}{2\pi} \] where \( n \) is the principal quantum number, \( r \) is the radius of the orbit, and \( v \) is the velocity of the electron. 3. **Expressing Momentum**: From the angular momentum equation, we can express \( mv \) as: \[ mv = \frac{n h}{2\pi r} \] 4. **Substituting into de-Broglie Wavelength**: Now, substitute \( mv \) into the de-Broglie wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{h}{\frac{n h}{2\pi r}} = \frac{2\pi r}{n} \] 5. **Finding the Ratio**: We need to find the ratio of the radius \( r \) to the wavelength \( \lambda \): \[ \frac{r}{\lambda} = \frac{r}{\frac{2\pi r}{n}} = \frac{n}{2\pi} \] 6. **Final Result**: Therefore, the ratio of the radius of the electron orbit to the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it in the nth orbit of a hydrogen atom is: \[ \frac{r}{\lambda} = \frac{n}{2\pi} \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ \frac{r}{\lambda} = \frac{n}{2\pi} \]
