    The energy of an electron in an excited hydrogen atom is\[-3.4eV\]. Its angular momentum is

    A) \[3.72\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s\]

    B) \[2.11\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s\]

    C) \[1.57\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s\]

    D) \[1.11\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Energy of electron in nth energy level in hydrogen atom                 \[=-\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{2}}}eV\] Here,     \[-\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{2}}}=-3.4eV\] So,          \[n=2\] Angular momentum from Bohrs principle                    \[=n\,\,\frac{h}{2\pi }\]                   \[=\frac{2\times 6.626\times {{10}^{-34}}}{2\times 3.14}\]                  \[=2.11\times {{10}^{-34}}J\text{-}s\]
