The difference between the radii of \(n^{\text {th }}\) and \((n+1)^{\text {th }}\) orbits of hydrogen atom is equal to the radius of \((n-1)^{\text {th }}\) orbit of hydrogen. The angular momentum of the electron in the \(n^{\text {th }}\) orbit is _________ ( \(h\) is Planck's constant).

  1. A \(\frac{h}{\pi}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2h}{\pi}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3h}{\pi}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4h}{\pi}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2h}{\pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(b) Radius of \(n^{\text {th }}\) orbit in an atom, \(r_n=\frac{n^2 h^2}{4 \pi^2 m Z e^2}\) So, \(r_n \propto n^2\) Given in question, difference between radii of \((n+1)^{\text {th }}\) and \(n^{\text {th }}\) orbit \(=\) radius of \(n^{\text {th }}\) orbit.…
