Question

What is the number of waves in 3rd orbit of hydrogen atom????(((please answer with full explanation... also mention the formula used.... please don't just answer to earn points...!!!)))

Answer 1

The number of waves made by an electron in any orbit is equal to the principal quantum number. So the number of waves in 3rd orbit of H atom are 3.

Answer 2

Answer: The number of waves made by Bohr electron in 3rd orbit will be 3.

Explanation:

Principle Quantum Number: It describes the size of the orbital and the energy level. It is represented by n. Where, n = 1,2,3,4....

We are given:

The electron is present in 3rd orbit, which means:

n = 3

Number of waves is equal to the principle quantum number.

Hence, the number of waves made by Bohr electron in 3rd orbit will be 3.
