Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Taking LL for the first orbit: L=h2πL = \dfrac{h}{2\pi}.
  2. Second orbit: L2=2h2π=2LL_2 = \dfrac{2h}{2\pi} = 2L.
  3. Change =2L−L=L= 2L - L = L. So the answer is (a).
