Bohr theory of the atom:
In the hydrogenic Bohr orbit of quantum number n compute the ratio of the circumference of the orbit to the wavelength of the electron. Provide an interpretation of this result in terms of the concepts of de Broglie.
Treating the Bohr orbit as a circulating electrical current, compute the magnetic moment of the electron in a Bohr orbit of quantum number n (Hint: use Ampere’s law). What is the ratio between the magnetic moment and the angular momentum?
