An orbital electron in the ground state of hydrogen has a magnetic moment $\mu_1$. This orbital electron is excited to the $3^{rd}$ excited state by some energy transfer to the hydrogen atom. If the new magnetic moment of the electron is $\mu_2$,then:

  • A
    $\mu_1 = 4\mu_2$
  • B
    $2\mu_1 = \mu_2$
  • C
    $16\mu_1 = \mu_2$
  • D
    $4\mu_1 = \mu_2$
