Calculate the angular momentum of the Moon due to its orbital motion about Earth. In your calculation use 3.84 x 108 m as the average Earth–Moon distance and 2.36 x 106 s as the period of the Moon in its orbit. (b) If the angular momentum of the Moon obeys Bohr’s quantization rule (L = n h), determine the value of the quantum number n. (c) By what fraction would the Earth–Moon radius have to be increased to increase the quantum number by 1?
If the radius of the lowest energy orbit (n = 1) is 0.529 × 10-10 m, calculate the radii in m of the Bohr orbits defined by principal quantum numbers 4 and 5. (Hint use equation 1.5 and work out the overall value of the collected constants from the value of r at n = 1).
In a hydrogen atom, what is the principal quantum number of the electron orbit with a radius closest to 1.0 μm?
