An electron in the hydrogen atom excites from 2 nd orbit to 4 th orbit then the change in angular momentum of the electron is (Planck's constant h=6.64 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s )
Options
- A2.11 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s
- B1.05 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s
- C0.57 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s
- D4.22 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s
Correct answer
A. 2.11 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s
Step-by-step solution
Change in angular momentum of the electron in H -atom when it is excited from 2nd orbit to 4 th orbit is given as L=L₂-L₁ Where, L₂ is angular momentum of 4 th excited state (n=5) and L₁ is angular moment of 2 nd excited ștate (n=3) . L= n₂ h 2 - n₁ h 2 aligned & = h 2 [n₂-n₁ ]= 6.64 10⁻³⁴ 2 3.14 [5-4] & =2.11 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s aligned
