Correct answer: D
-
Use Bohr’s quantization condition
For an electron in the orbit, where is the de-Broglie wavelength.
-
Radius of the orbit in hydrogen
For hydrogen,
-
Electron in the second orbit
For the second orbit, , so
-
Apply the standing wave condition
Using for ,
Substituting ,
-
Match with the options
This corresponds to option D if we take the electron specifically in the second orbit.
-
About the given options with parameter
The wording says “second orbit”, so the principal quantum number is fixed at . In that case, the answer is unambiguously
Option A gives and for this also becomes
So option A matches only after substituting . But as written, the direct expression for the second orbit is simply , i.e. option D.
-
General check
In general,
For ,
Same result confirmed.
