An electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The incorrect statement of the following is

  1. A Kinetic energy of the electron increases
  2. B Velocity of the electron increases
  3. C Angular momentum of the electron remains constant
  4. D Wavelength of de-Broglie wave associated with the motion of electron decreases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Angular momentum of the electron remains constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As the radius of the orbit will change due to transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. Therefore angular momentum \(\mathrm{L}=m v r\) will not remain constant.
