de Broglie wave circumscribing Bohr orbit A. 1
B. 5
C. 6
D. 10
E. 12
Answer















 


de Broglie wave circumscribing Bohr orbit
C. 6

A careful accounting of the complete wavelengths that span the circumference of the orbit reveals there are six, which corresponds to the value of the principal quantum number.
