Correct answer: C

  1. Use Bohr’s quantization condition

    For an electron in the nnnth Bohr orbit, 2πrn=nλ2\pi r_n = n\lambda2πrn​=nλ where rnr_nrn​ is the radius of the orbit and λ\lambdaλ is the de Broglie wavelength.

  2. Use the radius of the nnnth Bohr orbit

    For hydrogen atom, rn=n2a0r_n = n^2 a_0rn​=n2a0​ where a0a_0a0​ is the Bohr radius.

  3. Substitute for the 4th orbit

    For n=4n=4n=4, r4=42a0=16a0r_4 = 4^2 a_0 = 16a_0r4​=42a0​=16a0​

    Now from 2πr4=4λ2\pi r_4 = 4\lambda2πr4​=4λ we get λ=2πr44\lambda = \frac{2\pi r_4}{4}λ=42πr4​​

  4. Calculate λ\lambdaλ

    λ=2π(16a0)4=8πa0\lambda = \frac{2\pi (16a_0)}{4} = 8\pi a_0λ=42π(16a0​)​=8πa0​

  5. Match with the options

    λ=8πa0\lambda = 8\pi a_0λ=8πa0​

    So the correct option is C.
