The energy of an electron in an orbit of the Bohr's atom is -0.04E₀ eV, where E₀ is the ground state energy. If L is the angular momentum of the electron in this orbit and h is the Planck's constant, then (2π L)/h is ______.

Asked in JEE Main 21st Jan 2nd Shift 2026 · Energy levels and ionisation

Answer: (2) 5

Step-by-step solution

Eₙ=(E₀)/(n²), so 1/(n²)=0.04=1/(25) and n=5.

L=(nh)/(2π), so (2π L)/h=n=5.

Why the other options are wrong
