What is quantized angular momentum?
Quantization of angular momentum means that the radius of the orbit and the energy will be quantized as well. Bohr assumed that the discrete lines seen in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom were due to transitions of an electron from one allowed orbit/energy to another.
What is NH 2π?
The angular momentum of an electron by Bohr is given by mvr or nh/2π (where v is the velocity, n is the orbit in which electron is, m is mass of the electron, and r is the radius of the nth orbit).
How is angular momentum defined?
With a bit of a simplification, angular momentum (L) is defined as the distance of the object from a rotation axis multiplied by the linear momentum: L = r*p or L = mvr.
What is angular momentum in simple terms?
Angular momentum is defined as: The property of any rotating object given by moment of inertia times angular velocity. It is the property of a rotating body given by the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of the rotating object.
What is the magnitude of angular momentum?
Angular momentum is a vector. The magnitude of the orbital angular momentum is L = mrv perp = mr 2ω, and its direction is given by the right-hand rule. The angular momentum of isolated systems is conserved.
What direction is angular momentum?
The direction of angular velocity and angular momentum are perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Using the right hand rule, the direction of both angular velocity and angular momentum is defined as the direction in which the thumb of your right hand points when you curl your fingers in the direction of rotation.
What actually is the vector of angular momentum?
The angular momentum vector is normal to the plane formed by the radius and velocity vectors and therefore normal to the plane of the orbit. If no external torque is applied, the angular momentum is a constant of the motion. The magnitude of the angular momentum may be expressed as
