    The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is ...... (radius of the first orbit of hydrogen atom\[=0.53\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]).

    A) \[1.67\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]                         

    B) \[3.33\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    C) \[1.06\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]                         

    D) \[0.53\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    According to Bohr’s quantitation of angular momentum                 \[mvr=\frac{nh}{2\pi }\] or            \[\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{2\pi r}{n}\]                                               ... (i) de- Broglie wavelength                 \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\]                                           ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get Wavelength \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi r}{n}\]                 \[=\frac{2\times \pi \times 0.53\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,}{1}\]                 \[=3.33\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]
