Question:medium
De-Broglie wavelength of an electron orbiting in the \(n = 2\) state of hydrogen atom is close to (Given Bohr radius = 0.052 nm):
De-Broglie wavelength of an electron orbiting in the \(n = 2\) state of hydrogen atom is close to (Given Bohr radius = 0.052 nm):
Show Hint
Remember Bohr's quantization condition \( 2 \pi r = n \lambda \), relating the circumference of the electron's orbit to its de Broglie wavelength. Also, recall the formula for the radius of the \(n^{th}\) Bohr orbit \( r_n = n^2 a_0 \).

- The de-Broglie wavelength of a moving bus with speed \( v \) is \( \lambda \). Some passengers left the bus at a stop. Now, when the bus moves with twice of its initial speed, its kinetic energy is found to be twice of its initial value. What is the de-Broglie wavelength of the bus now?
