हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): An electron can move only in those orbits for which its angular momentum is an integral multiple of \( \frac{h}{2\pi} \). Reason (R): Maxwell's electromagnetic theory allows electrons to move in any arbitrary orbit around the nucleus without radiating energy. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option C
(A) is true but (R) is false.
Explanation
Assertion is true based on Bohr's postulate, but Reason is false because Maxwell's theory states that accelerating charged particles radiate energy and would spiral into the nucleus.
