The ratio of angular momentum of the electron in the first allowed orbit to that in the second allowed orbit of hydrogen atom is :

A

`sqrt(2)`

B

`sqrt(1//2)`

C

`(1)/(2)`

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`L=n(h)/(2pi)therefore (L_(1))/(L_(2))=(n_(1))/(n_(2))=(1)/(2)`
