→Suppose, the electron in a hydrogen atom makes transition from n = 3 to n = 2 in 10-8s. The order of the torque acting on the electron in this period, using the relation between torque and angular momentum as discussed in the chapter on rotational mechanics is:
- 10-34Nm
- 10-24Nm
- 10-42Nm
- 10-8Nm
A body is in pure rotation. The linear speed $\nu$ of a particle, the distance r of the particle from the axis and the angular velocity $\omega$ of the body are related as $\omega=\frac{\text{v}}{\text{r}}$ Thus:
→-
$\omega\propto\frac{1}{\text{r}}$
-
$\omega\propto\text{r}$
-
$\omega=0$
-
$\omega$ is independent of r.
