Question

The minimum number of waves made by a Bohr electron in an orbit of maximum magnetic quantum number $+2$:

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $2$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $3$

Given maximum magnetic quantum number, $m=+2$
Value of $m$ lies from $+l$ to $-l$.
Magnetic quantum number is given as $+2$ so value of $l$ is $2$.
Now, $l=2$ can have $n$ values of $3,4,5....$
So, for minimum number of waves, value of $n$ can be $3.$
When an electron revolves in a particular Bohr orbit then number of waves made by electron is equal to orbit number $\left(n\right)$.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
