The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to its:

Answer: momentum.

  • A Planck constant
  • B momentum
  • C frequency
  • D charge

Correct answer: B. momentum

Explanation: λ = h/p, so wavelength is inversely proportional to momentum - heavier or faster particles have shorter wavelengths.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
