Q43 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 2) · Physics
An electron in an excited state of ion has angular momentum . The de Broglie wavelength of the electron in this state is (where is the Bohr radius). The value of is
Correct answer: 2
Solution
From Bohr's law
(from eqes.)
And momentum
Now, radius of shell,
From De Broglie law
(from eqes.)
And momentum
Now, radius of shell,
From De Broglie law
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
