Angular momentum of an electron in a hydrogen atom is \(\dfrac{3h}{\pi}\), then the energy of the electron is _______ eV.
Pick an option to check your answer.
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 for \(n\), we get:
\(n = 6\)
The energy of an electron in the \(n\)-th orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by the formula:
\(E_n = -\dfrac{13.6}{n^2} \text{ eV}\)
Substituting \(n = 6\) into the energy formula:
\(E_6 = -\dfrac{13.6}{6^2} \text{ eV}\)
\(E_6 = -\dfrac{13.6}{36} \text{ eV}\)
\(E_6 \approx -0.377 \text{ eV} \approx -0.38 \text{ eV}\)
