Question
Show mathematically how Bohr's postulate of quantization of orbital angular momentum in hydrogen atom is explained by de-Broglie's hypothesis.

Answer

de Broglie wavelength, $\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
For electron moving in the $n^{th}$ orbit, $2 \pi\text{r} = \text{n}\lambda$
$\therefore2\pi\text{r} = \frac{\text{nh}}{\text{mv}}$
$\therefore\text{mvr} = \frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi} = \text{L}$ (orbital angular momentum)
This is Bohr’s Postulate of quantization of orbital angular momentum.
