Bohr's second postulate implies quantisation of
Options
- ACharge of an electron
- BEnergy of an electron
- CAngular momentum of electron
- DRadiated energy by an electron
Correct answer
C. Angular momentum of electron
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr's second postulate, an electron can revolve only in those circular orbits where its angular momentum is an integral multiple of h 2 . Mathematically, L = mvr = nh 2 , where n = 1, 2, 3, This postulate directly implies the quantisation of the angular momentum of an electron. Answer: Angular momentum of electron
