Bohr's quantized angular momentum, evaluated at n=3 and n=1.

Angular momentum in the nthn^{th} Bohr orbit is Ln=nh2πL_n = \dfrac{nh}{2\pi}.

L3=3h2π,L1=h2πL_3 = \frac{3h}{2\pi}, \qquad L_1 = \frac{h}{2\pi}

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