The energy of an electron in an orbit of the Bohr's atom is -0.04E_0 text eV where E_0 is the ground state energy. If L is the angular momentum of the electron in this orbit and h is the Planck's constant, then frac2pi Lh is :

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula E_n = fracE_0n^2 L = fracnh2pi ### Core Logic From Bohr's theory, the energy of an electron in the n-th orbit is inversely proportional to n^2: E = -fracE_0n^2 Equating this to the given energy: -fracE_0n^2 = -0.04 E_0 frac1n^2 = 0.04 = frac125 n^2 = 25 implies n = 5 ### Step 1: Final Conclusion Bohr's quantization condition for angular momentum: L = fracnh2pi Rearranging for the required term: frac2pi Lh = n Since n=5, the value is 5. ### Pattern Recognition The expression 2pi L / h is a direct request for the principal quantum number n. E_n = E_1 / n^2 allows finding n instantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Atoms
