The correct Answer is:
To find the de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron in the \( n = 4 \) level, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the de Broglie Wavelength Formula The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the electron. ### Step 2: Relate Momentum to Velocity The momentum \( p \) can be expressed as: \[ p = mv \] where \( m \) is the mass of the electron and \( v \) is its velocity. Therefore, we can rewrite the de Broglie wavelength as: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] ### Step 3: Understand the Relationship Between Velocity and Principal Quantum Number In quantum mechanics, the velocity of an electron in an atom is inversely related to the principal quantum number \( n \). This means: \[ v \propto \frac{1}{n} \] As \( n \) increases, the velocity \( v \) decreases. ### Step 4: Establish the Proportionality of Wavelength to Quantum Number From the relationship established in Step 3, we can say: \[ \lambda \propto n \] This indicates that the wavelength is directly proportional to the principal quantum number. ### Step 5: Set Up the Ratio of Wavelengths Using the proportionality, we can write the ratio of wavelengths for different quantum levels: \[ \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_4} = \frac{n_1}{n_4} \] where \( n_1 = 1 \) (ground state) and \( n_4 = 4 \). ### Step 6: Solve for \( \lambda_4 \) From the ratio, we can express \( \lambda_4 \): \[ \lambda_4 = \frac{n_4}{n_1} \cdot \lambda_1 = \frac{4}{1} \cdot \lambda_1 = 4 \lambda_1 \] This means the wavelength associated with the electron in the \( n = 4 \) level is four times that of the wavelength in the ground state. ### Conclusion Thus, the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electron in the \( n = 4 \) level is: \[ \lambda_4 = 4 \lambda_1 \]
