A hydrogen atom is in its second excited state, n = 3.
PART A
Using the Bohr model of hydrogen, find the linear momentum.
PART B
Using the Bohr model of hydrogen, find the angular momentum of the electron in this atom.
E = hc/lambda
E =13.6/n^2 = 2.4178 x 10^-19 J
lambda = 8.227 x 10^-7 m
2pi*r = n*lambda
r = 3.928 x 10^-7 m
mvr = nh/2pi
mv = nh/2pir
mv = 8.059 x 10^-28 m/s
part b )
L = nh/2pi
L = 3.166 x 10^-34
