JEE Main 2026 — 2 April, Morning Shift — Question 14

Angular momentum of an electron in a hydrogen atom is 3hπ\frac{3h}{\pi} , then the energy of the electron is eV\mathrm{eV} .

  1. Option A:

    −1.51-1.51

  2. Option B:

    −0.85-0.85

  3. Option C:

    −0.38-0.38

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    −0.28-0.28

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

L=nh2π=3hπ⇒n=6L = \frac{nh}{2\pi} = \frac{3h}{\pi} \Rightarrow n=6, E=−13.6n2=−0.38eVE = -\frac{13.6}{n^2} = -0.38\mathrm{eV}
