12.16 If Bohr's quantization postulate (angular momentum = nh/2n) is a basic law of nature, it should be equally valid for the case of planetary motion also. Why then do we never speak of quantization of orbits of planets around the sun?

Kindly go through the solution 

Change in surface energy = work done

$\left|\Delta E_0\right|=\left(-136\left\{1-\frac{1}{4}\right\}\right)eV$

|DE₀| = –10.2

$\lambda =\frac{12400}{10.2}\times 10^{-10}m$

$\rho =\frac{h}{\lambda }=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 10.2}{12400\times 10^{-10}}$                  

$?$ $mv=\frac{h}{\lambda }$            

  $1.8\times 10^{-27}$           

$v=\frac{6.63\times 10.2\times 10^{-34}}{12400\times 10^{-10}}$

$v=\frac{6.63\times 10.2}{12400\times 1.8}\times 10^3$            

$=\frac{6.63\times 102}{124\times 1.8}=3.02$ ]

= 3 m/s

$-0.85=\frac{-13.6}{n^2}$  

n = 4

Number of transitions = $\frac{4\times 3}{2}=6$
