A hydrogen atom is in its second excited state, n = 3.
Using the Bohr model of hydrogen, find the linear momentum.
Using the Bohr model of hydrogen, find the angular momentum of the electron in this atom.
rn = n^2*a0
a0 = 0.0529nm
rn = 9*(.0529) = .4761nm
a) p*rn = n*h'
h'= plancks constant/(2*pi) = 1.055*10^-34
p = 3*h'/(.4761*10^-9) = 6.65*10^-25kg.m/sec
b) L = n*h'
L = 3*h' = 3.164*10^-34 j-sec
