Solution

The correct option is D 4μ1=μ2
Given
Magnetic moment of electron in hydrogen atom in ground state is
Magnetic moment of electron in hydrogen atom in third excited state is
Solution
For hydrogen atom
μn=eunrn2π
Here un is inversely proportional to n andrn is directly proprtional ton2
Therefore μn is directly proportional to n
μ1=1
μ2=4 third excited state n= 4
The correct option is D
