The orbital angular momentum for an elec...

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

A

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

B

Zero

C

`h/(2pi)`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

The value of `l` (azimuthal quantum number) for s- electron is equal to zero.
Orbital angular momentum `=sqrt(l(l+1)).(h)/(2pi)`
Substituting the value of `l` for s-electron `=sqrt(0(0+1)).(h)/(2pi)=0`
