Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.11 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}-\mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Change in angular momentum of the electron in \(\mathrm{H}\)-atom when it is excited from 2nd orbit to 4 th orbit is given as \(\Delta L=L_2-L_1\) Where, \(L_2\) is angular momentum of 4 th excited state \((n=5)\) and \(L_1\) is angular moment of 2 nd excited ștate \((n=3)\).…
