$A$ diatomic molecule is made of two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ separated by a distance $r$. Applying the Bohr's quantization rule for angular momentum,calculate its rotational kinetic energy. It is given by the formula:

  • A
    $\frac{(m_1 + m_2) n^2 h^2}{8 \pi^2 m_1 m_2 r^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{(m_1 + m_2)^2 n^2 h^2}{2 m_1^2 m_2^2 r^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{n^2 h^2}{2(m_1 + m_2) r^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 n^2 h^2}{(m_1 + m_2) r^2}$
