A light of energy 12.75 eV is incident on a hydrogen atom in its ground state. The atom absorbs the radiation and reaches to one of its excited states. The angular momentum of the atom in the excited state is xπ×10-17 eVs. The value of x is ______ (use h=4.14×1015 eVs, c=3 ×108 m s1)

Solution

Let the electron jumped to nth excited state.

In the ground state, energy E=-13.6 eV

So, using relation 12.75=13.6112-1n2

0.9375=1-1n2n2=16

n=16=4

Now, angular momentum, L=nh2π=4h2π=2hπ

 =2π×4.14×10-15

=828×10-17π eVs

Hence, the value of x=828.
