2. Assume a Bohr hydrogen atom is in a superposition of the first two states, in which each has its usual definition p = a1 + ba You may assume that a and b are both real and positive. (a) What values of a and b will properly normalize the wave function and give probabilities of being found in the first and second states of 75% and 25%, respectively? (b) What will be the expectation value for the energy in this case? [eV] (c) What will be the standard deviation for this case? [eV] (d) Demonstrate numerically that if I make three measurements at the first energy level and one at the second, the standard deviation relative to the answer in (a) matches the answer in (b). Hint: you don't need to worry about any of the details of the wavefunctions. All you need to know is that they're properly normaized and they're eigenfunctions of energy, with energy
