The orbital angular momentum for an electron revolving in an orbit is given by `sqrt(l(l + 1))(h)/(2pi)`. What is the momentum of an s-electron?

A

zero

B

`(h)/(2pi)`

C

`sqrt(2).(h)/(2pi)`

D

`+(1)/(2).(h)/(2pi)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For s- electron , l = 0
`therefore ` Orbital angular momentum `= sqrt(0(0+1))(h)/(2pi) = 0`
