Electron Orbits Quantization
Hardphysics
Bohr postulate: angular momentum quantized as?
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
m v r = n h/(2π)
- Bohr's Postulate: Electrons can revolve only in certain stable, non-radiating orbits (stationary states).
- Quantization Rule: The angular momentum (L) of the electron in such orbits must be an integral multiple of h/2π.
- Equation: L=mvr=n2πh, where n=1,2,3,…
- Terminology: Here n is the principal quantum number. The constant h/2π is often written as ℏ (h-bar).
