Which condition lets a de Broglie electron orbit persist?
ARadius equals one wavelength
BCircumference holds whole wavelengths
COrbit area holds whole wavelengths
DCircumference holds half wavelengths
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Circumference holds whole wavelengths
Only resonant standing waves persist, which requires 2πr = nλ around the circular path.
