The angular momentum for the electron in Bohr's orbit is \(L\). If the electron is assumed to revolve in second orbit of hydrogen atom, then the change in angular momentum will be

  1. A \(\frac{L}{2}\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(L\)
  4. D \(2L\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(L\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(L = mvr , \quad r \propto n ^2, \quad v \propto \frac{1}{ n }\) \(\therefore L \propto n\) \(\text { Also, } L =\frac{ nh }{2 \pi}, \text { Bohr orbit is, } L _1= L =\frac{1 . h }{2 \pi}\) \(L _2=2[ L ]=2 L\) \(L _2=\frac{2 h }{2 \pi}\) So, change \(= L _2- L _1=2 L - L = L\)
