  1. A \(-1.51\)
  2. B \(-0.85\)
  3. C \(-0.38\)
  4. D \(-0.28\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-0.38\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The angular momentum of an electron in the \(n\)-th orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by Bohr's quantization rule: \(L = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\) Given that the angular momentum is \(\dfrac{3h}{\pi}\), we can equate the two expressions: \(\dfrac{nh}{2\pi} = \dfrac{3h}{\pi}\) Solving…
