Homework Statement
4-16:
if the angular momentum of the Earth in its motion around the sun were quantized like a hydrogen electron according to equation L=mvr=(nh)/2Π, what would Earth's quantum number be? How much energy would be released in a transition to the next lowest level? would that energy release (presumably as a gravity wave) be detectable? what would be the radius of that orbit? (radius of Earth's orbit is 1.5x10^11 m
