When de Broglie's matter waves are applied to electrons in the Bohr atom, which of the following occurs?

A. The electron is found to have in its orbit an integral number of half-wavelengths.
B. Bohr's quantization assumption for electron orbits is modified to incorporate the wave properties of the electron.
C. de Broglie's results allow an integral number of wavelengths in the electron orbits.
D. The angular momentum of the electron in the atom is constant, with longer wavelengths at larger quantum numbers.


C,
The de Broglie wavelength of the electron orbiting the nucleus is quantized in the same way that Bohr's atom is quantized. An integral number of electron wavelengths is found in each electron orbit.
