The ratio of angular momentum to the atomic dipole moment for hydrogen like atoms and ions is

Options
- Aalways constant and is equal to the ratio of mass to the charge of electron
- Balways constant and is equal to twice the ratio of mass to the charge of electron to the principal quantum number
- Cproportional to the principal quantum number
- Dproportional to
Correct answer
A. always constant and is equal to the ratio of mass to the charge of electron
Step-by-step solution
The electron moving with a speed in the circular Bohr orbit of radius constitutes a current of magnitude.

where is the orbital period of the electron.
By definition of atomic dipole moment its magnitude is given by
Angular momentum,
