The angular momentum of an electron in the third orbit of a hydrogen atom is (Given: $h = 6.6 × 10^{-34}\, Js$) |
$1.15 × 10^{-34}\, Js$ $2.15 × 10^{-34}\, Js$ $3.15 × 10^{-34}\, Js$ $4.12 × 10^{-19}\, Js$ |
$3.15 × 10^{-34}\, Js$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $3.15 × 10^{-34}\, Js$ Angular momentum of an electron in the n-th orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by Bohr's quantization condition: $L = n \frac{h}{2 \pi}$ For the third orbit, $n = 3$: $L = 3 \frac{h}{2 \pi}$ Substitute Planck's constant $h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}$: $L = 3 \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{2 \pi}$ $L = \frac{19.878 \times 10^{-34}}{6.2832}$ $L \approx 3.163 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}$ Answer: $L \approx 3.16 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}$ |
