According to Bohr's 2nd postulate, the angular momentum of an electron in one of its orbits is given by:
Correct answer: D. mvr=nh/2π
- A. mr=nh/2π
- B. mv= nh/2π
- C. mvr=h/2π
- D. mvr=nh/2π
Explanation
D is the correct option because According to Bohr's second postulate, the angular momentum of an electron in one of its orbits is quantized and is an integral multiple of h/2π , where h is Planck's constant, n is the principal quantum number, m is the mass of the electron, v is the velocity of the electron, and r is the radius of the orbit.

About Atomic Spectra
Atoms emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths because electrons occupy quantized energy levels and change levels by absorbing or releasing photons. The topic covers emission and absorption spectra, spectral series, hydrogen’s line spectrum, energy-level transitions, and the relation between wavelength, frequency and photon energy.
