Homework Statement


A classical electron in circular motion with radius r and velocity v.
How would you find the quantum number l that gives quantized angular momentum close to the angular momentum of the classical electron?

Homework Equations


p=mvr
L=(h/2pi)√[l(l+1)]


Can anyone point me in the right direction with such a question. Just can't figure this one out.

Your 1st equation: p=mvr is incorrect.
