The correct Answer is:
To find the circumference of the \( n^{th} \) orbit in a hydrogen atom in terms of the de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding de Broglie Wavelength**: The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) 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. **Circumference of the Orbit**: According to the Bohr model, the circumference \( C \) of the \( n^{th} \) orbit can be expressed as: \[ C = 2\pi r \] where \( r \) is the radius of the \( n^{th} \) orbit. 3. **Relating Circumference to Angular Momentum**: The angular momentum of the electron in the \( n^{th} \) orbit is quantized and given by: \[ mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi} \] where \( n \) is the principal quantum number. 4. **Substituting for \( mv \)**: From the angular momentum equation, we can express \( mv \) as: \[ mv = \frac{nh}{2\pi r} \] 5. **Substituting into the Circumference Equation**: Now, substituting \( mv \) into the de Broglie wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{h}{\frac{nh}{2\pi r}} = \frac{2\pi r}{n} \] 6. **Expressing Circumference in Terms of \( \lambda \)**: Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 2\pi r = n\lambda \] Thus, the circumference of the \( n^{th} \) orbit can be expressed as: \[ C = 2\pi r = n\lambda \] ### Final Answer: The circumference of the \( n^{th} \) orbit in a hydrogen atom can be expressed as: \[ C = n\lambda \]
