Question
49.
Which of the following correctly identifies how Louis de Broglie's
concept of the electron as a particle-wave helped to explain energy
levels for an electron in an atom.
A. de Broglie described the electron orbit as a circular standing
wave pattern with a specific angular momentum as required by
the Bohr hypothesis.
B. de Broglie described the electron as a planar wave with a non-
specific frequency as required by the Bohr hypothesis.
<>
C. de Broglie described the electron as a wave whose range of
frequencies was continuous and thus allowed for all the possible
electron energies predicted by Bohr.
D. de Broglie described the electron as a spherical wave whose
wavelength was dependent upon the speed with which it orbits
the nucleus, as needed to explain the Bohr hypothesis.
