Hydrogen atom Definition and 410 Threads

I am having some trouble w/ a take home Physics final. I am down to my last 2 questions: 1) What is the frequency for a photon emitted from a hydrogen atom when an electron makes a transition from an energy state n=3 to n=1? What is the energy of the photon in Joules and MeV? 2) A...

We were given this formula in class: delta E= chR (\frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{inf}) the 1/1^2 is because it is in ground state. So the formula simplifies to chR c = 299792000 h = 6.626E-34 R = 10970000 and 1.60217653*10^{19} Joules / eV I get: 1.36009026784583 * 10^{-37} eV...

How would I show that the most probable values of r for the n-1=l states of hydrogen are r=n^2a where a is the Bohr radius I know these values must satisfy the equation d/dr(unl)^2=0

Consider a hydrogen atom in the n = 1 state in a magnetic field. For what value of the magnetic field is the splitting between the s = +1 and s = -1 levels equal to .000093 eV?

I have asked many people and searched many sources for the answer to the following question but have yet to reach a satisfactory conclusion. When solving the hydrogen atom by separation of variables, for the angular equation, you come across the O.D.E. d^2/(do)^2 (F) =...

Here's my question... For a hydrogen atom in the ground state, what is the probability to find the electron between 1.00a and 1.01a, where a is the Bohr radius? It is not necessary to evaluate any integrals to solve this problem. I know that P(r)=r^2*(R(r))^2. I used the R(r) expression...

Hey all. I've got a physics question due tonight (Friday) at 11pm CST and I'm stumped. Any input at all would be helpful, thanks! A hydrogen atom, when vigorously perturbed, can emit light with a frequency of 6.16·10^14 Hz. When the same light from hydrogen atoms in a distant galaxy is...

What is the energy of the photon when the Hydrogen aton transitions from the n=4 to n=3 energy state?

please help me study by answering a few questions. consider a hydrogen atom with energy levels En= -(13 eV)/(n^2) this atom is bombarded by photons of E = 15 eV. What is the incoming photon frequency? What are possible kinetic energies and speeds of the emerging electrons? What is...

Using the ground state of the hydrogen atom Psi 1,0,0 = sqrt([pi]*a3) * e-r/a I get <r> the expected radius as <r> = 3a/2 where a = Bohr radius. Anybody happen to know if this correct? It would have been cooler if the Bohr radius in physical constants were <r> and the scale factor...
