Bohr's second postulate implies quantisation of

  1. A Charge of an electron
  2. B Energy of an electron
  3. C Angular momentum of electron
  4. D Radiated energy by an electron
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Angular momentum of electron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Bohr's second postulate, an electron can revolve only in those circular orbits where its angular momentum is an integral multiple of \(\dfrac{h}{2\pi}\).

Mathematically, \(L = mvr = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\), where \(n = 1, 2, 3, \dots\)

This postulate directly implies the quantisation of the angular momentum of an electron.

Answer: Angular momentum of electron
