The angular momentum of an electron in s orbital is:

Answer: 0.

  • A hbar
  • B 2hbar
  • C 0
  • D hbar/2

Correct answer: C. 0

Explanation: For l=0 (s orbital): L = sqrt(l(l+1)) hbar = 0. S orbitals have zero orbital angular momentum.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
