Now, de Broglie associated a particle wave with the electron revolving in an orbit such that the distance travelled by the wave is equal to any integral number of wavelengths.
\n\n
Consider an electron revolving in circular orbit of radius then,
\n\n
(as the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the orbit)
\n\n
Now, according to de Broglie, where is the velocity of electron in orbit.
\n\n
Putting the value of in equation , we get,
\n\n\n\n
Therefore, de Broglie explained Bohr's second postulate by using wave particle duality.
