Angular Momentum using h-bar

L=
(l)Number of wavelengths
Tags

The Angular Momentum in Atomic States calculator computes the angular momentum from an electron based on the number of wavelengths in the orbit of the electron and Planck's constant.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:/attachments/b5e4cd9b-3942-11e6-9770-bc764e2038f2/00D2985F-A4C2-4274-860A-D5F0C288D224.png

  • (?) This is the number of wavelengths

Angular Momentum (L): The calculator returns the angular momentum in kgm2/s.
