Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum
A diatomic molecule is made of two masses and which are separated by a distance If we calculate its rotational energy by applying Bohr's rule of angular momentum quantization, its energy will be given by: ( is an integer)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Moment of inertia with reduced mass .
- Bohr rule , so .
- Writing for as the options do, .
- So the answer is (d).
