Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the transition

For hydrogen atom, the energy of the nnnth orbit is

En=−13.6n2 eVE_n = -\frac{13.6}{n^2}\,\text{eV}En​=−n213.6​eV

Ground state means n=1n=1n=1, so

E1=−13.6 eVE_1 = -13.6\,\text{eV}E1​=−13.6eV

If the atom absorbs 10.2 eV10.2\,\text{eV}10.2eV, then the final energy becomes

Ef=−13.6+10.2=−3.4 eVE_f = -13.6 + 10.2 = -3.4\,\text{eV}Ef​=−13.6+10.2=−3.4eV

Now,

−13.6n2=−3.4-\frac{13.6}{n^2} = -3.4−n213.6​=−3.4

13.6n2=3.4\frac{13.6}{n^2} = 3.4n213.6​=3.4

n2=4  ⟹  n=2n^2 = 4 \implies n=2n2=4⟹n=2

So the electron goes from n=1n=1n=1 to n=2n=2n=2.


  1. Use Bohr's angular momentum formula

According to Bohr's quantization,

Ln=nh2π=nℏL_n = n\frac{h}{2\pi} = n\hbarLn​=n2πh​=nℏ

Thus,

  • Initial angular momentum: L1=h2πL_1 = \frac{h}{2\pi}L1​=2πh​

  • Final angular momentum: L2=2h2πL_2 = 2\frac{h}{2\pi}L2​=22πh​

Hence increase in angular momentum is

ΔL=L2−L1=h2π\Delta L = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{h}{2\pi}ΔL=L2​−L1​=2πh​


  1. Substitute given value of hhh

Given,

h=6.6×10−34 Jsh = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\,\text{Js}h=6.6×10−34Js

Therefore,

ΔL=6.6×10−342π\Delta L = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{2\pi}ΔL=2π6.6×10−34​

Using π≈3.14\pi \approx 3.14π≈3.14,

ΔL≈6.6×10−346.28\Delta L \approx \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{6.28}ΔL≈6.286.6×10−34​

ΔL≈1.05×10−34 Js\Delta L \approx 1.05 \times 10^{-34}\,\text{Js}ΔL≈1.05×10−34Js


  1. Match with options

1.05×10−34 Js\boxed{1.05 \times 10^{-34}\,\text{Js}}1.05×10−34Js​

So the correct option is B.
