    A hydrogen atom in its ground state absorbs 10.2 eV of energy. The orbital angular momentum is increased by [MP PET 1995; MP PMT 1997]

    A)            \[1.05\times {{10}^{-34}}\]J-sec                                      

    B)            \[3.16\times {{10}^{-34}}\]J-sec

    C)            \[2.11\times {{10}^{-34}}\]J-sec                                      

    D)            \[4.22\times {{10}^{-34}}\]J-sec (Given Planck constant \[h=6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}J-\]sec)

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Electron after absorbing 10.2 eV energy goes to its first excited state (n=2) from ground state (n = 1).                    \[\therefore \]Increase in momentum \[=\frac{h}{2\pi }\]            \[=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}{6.28}=1.05\times {{10}^{-34}}J\text{-}s\].
