Q32 / 201 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

A hydrogen atom in ground state absorbs 10.2 eV of energy. The orbital angular momentum of the electron is increased by

  • Correct answer
    A
    1.05×10–34J⁡s
  • B
    2.11×10–34J⁡s
  • C
    3.16×10–34J⁡s
  • D
    4.22×10–34J⁡s

Solution

ΔE=E2-E1

10.2  eV=-3.4  eV+13.6  eV

This is possible only when

E2-3.4 eV and

E1=-13.6 eV

This mean n2=2 & n1=1

ΔL=2h2π-h2π=h2π=6.63×10-342×3.14J s

=1.05×10–34J⁡s

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
