Atomic Structure: Practice Problem & Solution

The Bohr model of atoms: (2004)
Uses Einstein's photo electric equation
Predicts continuous emission spectra for atoms
Predicts the same emission spectra for all types of atoms
Assumes that the angular momentum of electrons is quantized

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Atomic Structure. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

According to Bohr's second postulate, the electron revolves only in those orbits for which its angular momentum is an integral multiple of $h/(2\pi)$. Hence, it assumes that the angular momentum of electrons is quantized.
