In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron in the n = 10 level moves in a circular orbit of radius 5.29 x10-9 m around the proton. Assume the orbital angular momentum of the electron is equal to 10h/2.
Okay, I found in a book that h = 1.054x10^-34 kgm^2/s
I used the equation L = Iw
I = mr^2
and then plugged the values in to get w.
I don't understand what the n =10 means so my answer is wrong. Please help!!!
