Chapter 6.5, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The imaginary macroscopic experiment that closely corresponds to the given outcome of electron diffraction is to be selected.

Concept introduction:

For the standing waves, the length of the string is considered $n$ times half of the wavelength $\left(\lambda \right)$.

$\text{L}=n\frac{\lambda }{2}$

Here, $n$ is a positive integer starting from $1$.

According to de Broglie, the circumference of the allowed orbital $\left(2\pi r\right)$ and wavelength $\left(\lambda \right)$. The expression is as follows:

$2\pi r=n\lambda$

Here, $n$ is a positive integer starting from $1$.
