Question

The wave-particle duality theory is the first adequate explanation of which one of the following observations about the hydrogen atom?
a. More than one possible orbit exists for the electron.
b. An infinite number of possible orbits exists for the electron.
c. Only certain energies are possible for the orbiting electron.
d. More than one momentum is possible for the orbiting electron.
e. None of these is correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

None of these is correct.

Explanation:

The wave particle duality has to do with Louis de Broglie's proposition that matter could exist as waves or particles.

According to him, matter poseses an associated wavelength. Hence, a certain wavelength is traceable to the hydrogen atom.

This wavelength is the ratio of Plank's constant to the momentum of the hydrogen atom
