oh wow. Thank you so much!

Yea L is the circumference of the circle. I understand I use the equation n*lambda=2*pi*r for b. I am stuck at a) because I am not given the velocity for Earth and asked to figure out the de Broglie.

Yes, but I don't understand the relationship between the wavelength and the radius.

I'm not sure I follow what you are asking.

Homework Statement Earth has the mass 6 · 10^24 kg and the orbit radius r = 1.5 · 10^11 m. (a) Compute its de Broglie wavelength. (b) Apply de Broglie quantization condition as in the case of the Hydrogen atom and compute the quantum number n for the orbit of Earth. (c) What is the...
