$A$ light of energy $12.75 \; eV$ is incident on a hydrogen atom in its ground state. The atom absorbs the radiation and reaches to one of its excited states. The angular momentum of the atom in the excited state is $\frac{x}{\pi} \times 10^{-17} \; eVs$. The value of $x$ is $........$ (use $h=4.14 \times 10^{-15} \; eVs$)
