Step 1
1 of 8Bohr considered that an electron in a hydrogen atom described circular orbits of radius around the nuclei. Using classical mechanics, we know that the angular momentum is
and the linear momentum is defined as
where the orbital speed of the electron is
and the radius of the orbit is
The angular speed is
