Marks: +1, -0
Calculate the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electron revolving in the first excited state of hydrogen atom. The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is −13.6eV.
Solution:
The energy of the nth state of Hydrogen atom
En=−13.6n2eV
For ground state, n=1
When atom is in first excited state, n=2
∴E=−13.622=−3.4eV
Now, the de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron is
λ=hp
h= Planck's constant
p= Momentum of electron
m= Mass of electron
p=2mE
∴λ=hp
Or λ=h2mE
Or, λ=6.6×10−342×9.1×10−31×3.4×1.6×10−19

∴λ=6.6×10−34×10259.95=0.66×10−9
=6.6A0
