CONCEPT:
- The electron moves around the nucleous on a circular path with a specific velocity on that path. The moment of momentum of electron is called angular momentum of electron.
The angular momentum (L) of electron in nth orbit is given by:
\(L = m\;{v_n}{r_n} = \frac{{nh}}{{2\;\pi }}\)
Where m is mass of an electron, vn is velocity in nth orbit, rn is radius of nth orbit, n is principle quantum number and h is Planck constant.
CALCULATION:
Here electron jumps from n = 4 level to n = 1 level
\(Initial\;angular\;momentum\;\left( L \right) = \frac{{nh}}{{2\;\pi }} = \frac{{4\;h}}{{2\;\pi }} = \frac{{2\;h}}{{\;\pi }}\)
\(Final\;angular\;momentum\;\left( {L'} \right) = \frac{{nh}}{{2\;\pi }} = \frac{{1 \times \;h}}{{2\;\pi }} = \frac{{\;h}}{{2\;\pi }}\)
\(Change\;in\;angular\;momentum = \left( {L - L'} \right) = \frac{{2\;h}}{{\;\pi }} - \frac{{\;h}}{{2\;\pi }} = \frac{{4\;h - h}}{{2\;\pi }} = \frac{{3h}}{{2\pi }}\)
