Physics-Bohr Model

NEET Physics Bohr Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a diagram of an electron in a hydrogen atom orbiting a proton in a circular path. If the orbit corresponds to a standing wave with a circumference of four wavelengths, how is the electron's angular momentum quantized?

Question diagram
A

nh/2π, where n is an integer

B

n^2h/4π, where n is an integer

C

nh, where n is an integer

D

2nh/π, where n is an integer

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The quantum condition for angular momentum in Bohr's model is m v_n r_n = nh/2π, as supported by the de Broglie hypothesis and standing wave condition.
