Explanation- Hγ in Balmer series corresponds to transition n= 5 to n= 2. So, the electron in ground state i.e., from n= 1must first be placed in state n= 5.
Energy required for the transition from n= 2 to n= 5 is given by E1-E5=13.6-0.54=13.06eV
Since, angular momentum is conserved,
angular momentum corresponding to Hg photon= change in angular momentum of electron
so L5-L2=5h-2h= 3h = 3
=3.18 kgm2/s
