Question

For a stable orbit, electrons behave as -

Consider the matter wave nature.

• A. travelling wave
• B. standing wave
• C. Either of options $\left(A\right)$ or $\left(B\right)$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B standing wave

We know that, electrons don’t dissipate energy while revolving in an orbit.

Therefore, for a stable orbit, the electron behaves as a standing wave in that orbital.

Hence, option $\left(B\right)$ is the correct answer.
