Predict/Explain (a) Is the de Broglie wavelength of an

Chapter 31, Problem 34

(choose chapter or problem)

Predict/Explain (a) Is the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the Bohr orbit of hydrogen greater than, less than, or equal to the de Broglie wavelength in the Bohr orbit?(b)Choose the bestexplanationfrom among the following: I. The de Broglie wavelength in the nth state is , where r is proportional to . Therefore, the wavelength increases with increasing n, and is greater for than for . II. The de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the nth state is such that nwavelengths t around the circumference of the orbit. Therefore, and the wavelength for is less than for . III. The de Broglie wavelength depends on the mass of the electron, and that is the same regardless of which state of the hydrogen atom the electron occupies.
