Physics

Levart [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.

Wave-particle duality tells us that wave and particle models apply to all objects whatever the size, so why don't we observe wav
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Because the wavelengths of macroscopic objects are too short for them to be detectable.

Explanation:

Wavelength of an object is given by de Broglie wavelength as:

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}

Where, 'h' is Planck's constant, 'm' is mass of object and 'v' is its velocity.

So, for macroscopic objects, the mass is very large compared to microscopic objects. As we can observe from the above formula, there is an inverse relationship between the mass and wavelength of the object.

So, for vary larger masses, the wavelength would be too short and one will find it undetectable. Therefore, we don't observe wave properties in macroscopic objects.
