(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength of an electron wave in its ground state and first excited state are to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

There are mainly two types of waves; travelling waves and standing waves. A travelling wave is a wave that propagates through space. For example, electromagnetic radiation. A standing wave originates in a place where physical boundary is present. For example, guitar string which has fixed ends. If oneconsider an electron fixed between two atoms in a chemical bond, it can act as a wave and one call it as the wave nature of electron.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of nodes in first excited state of the given electron is to be calculated.
