Question

Angular momentum of an electron in a hydrogen atom is $\frac{3\text{ }h}{\pi}$, then the energy of the electron is $\_\_\_\_$ eV .

Options

A.-1.51
B.-0.85
C.-0.38
D.-0.28

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: $L = nh/2\pi$ fixes $n$; then $E = - 13.6/n^{2}$ eV.]

$$L = \frac{nh}{2\pi}$$

$$\begin{matrix} & \frac{3\text{ }h}{\pi} = \frac{nh}{2\pi} \\ & n = 6 \\ & E = \frac{- 13.6}{n^{2}}eV \\ & \ = \frac{- 13.6}{6^{2}} \approx - 0.38eV \end{matrix}$$
