Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, an equation is missing which can be defined as follows:


I \omega =√(J(J+1))h

solution:

Angular momentum:


L=I \omega =√(J(J+1))h

Convert Angular momentum in terms of kinetic energy:


K = (L^2)/(2I)


= (h^2(J(J+1)))/(2I)
