Answer 29.
a. For a hydrogen atom, gives the expression to determine the energies of different energy states. But then this equation requires the radius r of the electron orbit. To calculate r, Bohr’s second postulate about the angular momentum of the electron-the quantization condition is used. The angular momentum L is given by
L = mvr
Bohr’s second postulate of quantization says that the allowed values of angular momentum are integral multiples of h/2π

where n is an integer, r_n is the radius of nth possible orbit and u_n is the speed of moving electron in the nth orbit. The
allowed orbits are numbered 1,2,3………
according to the values of n, which is called the principal quantum number of the orbit.
From the relation between u_n and r_n is
