NEET (UG) 2025 — Question 32

De-Broglie wavelength of an electron orbiting in the n=2n=2 state of hydrogen atom is close to (Given Bohr radius =0.052 nm=0.052 \mathrm{~nm} )

  1. Option A:

    0.067 nm

  2. Option B:

    0.67 nm

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    1.67 nm

  4. Option D:

    2.67 nm

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Given n=2,Z=1\mathrm{n}=2, \mathrm{Z}=1

2πr=nλ2 \pi \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{n} \lambda

2π×(0.052n2Z)=nλ2 \pi \times\left(0.052 \frac{n^{2}}{Z}\right)=n \lambda

On solving λ=0.67 nm\lambda=0.67 \mathrm{~nm}
