The angular momentum of the electron in \( n=2 \) orbit in hydrogen atom is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → \( 2.1\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{kg\,m^{2}s^{-1}} \)
By Bohr’s quantisation condition, the angular momentum of the electron in the n-th orbit is an integral multiple of \( h/2\pi \):
\( \displaystyle L = \frac{nh}{2\pi} \)
\( \displaystyle L = \frac{2\times6.63\times10^{-34}}{2\times3.14} = \frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{3.14} \)
\( L \approx 2.1\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{kg\,m^{2}s^{-1}} \)
