Quantum Model question

Answer 1

so it says that for the electron to orbit the nucleus, its wavelength must be able to fit perfectly around the nucleus. But in order for it to do that the orbit must not be smaller or bigger than some multiple of the wavelength. so is the orbit the energy level?

Answer 2

The lowest energy level corresponds to a wavelength equal to the circumference of the orbit. The next corresponds to a wavelength equal to half of the circumference of the orbit, and so on and so forth.
