A planet of mass `m` is in an elliptical orbit about the sun with an orbital period `T`. If A be the area of orbit, then its angular momentum would be

A

`(2mA)/(T)`

B

`mAT`

C

`(mA)/(2T)`

D

`2mAT`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Considering Kepler's second law we know that
`(A)/(T)=(L)/(2m)or L=(2mA)/(T)`.
