Bohr's angular momentum quantization gives L = nh/2π; the change from n=3 to n=1 is ΔL = 2h/2π = h/π.

By Bohr's postulate, Ln=nh2πL_n = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}. For the transition from n=3n=3 to n=1n=1:

ΔL=L3−L1=3h2π−h2π=2h2π=hπ\Delta L = L_3 - L_1 = \frac{3h}{2\pi} - \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{2h}{2\pi} = \frac{h}{\pi} …
