Consider the following two possibilities for electron tran- sitions in a hydrogen atom, pictured below: (1) The electron drops from the Bohr orbit n = 3 to the orbit n = 2, followed by the transition from n = 2 to n = 1. (2) The electron drops from the Bohr orbit n = 3 directly to the orbit n = 1. (a) Show that the sum of the energies for the transitions n = 3 → n = 2 and n = 2 → n = 1 is equal to the energy of the transition n = = 3 → n = 1. (b) Are either the wavelengths or the frequencies of the emit-

Using the Bohr model of an electron orbiting a nucleus, the angular momentum of Earth's orbit around the Sun is about 2.67 x 1040 g m2 s−1. Using the Bohr quantization condition, what is the quantum number n for Earth's orbit? If the Earth transitions from this orbit to n-1 (emitting a graviton, which is the gravitational anagloue of the photon), how much energy would be released? Find the frequency of the graviton.

termine the number of different sets of quantum numbers possible for each of the following shells: (a) n = 2, (b) n = 3, (c) n = 4
Quantum numbers arise naturally from the mathematics used to describe the possible states of an electron in an atom. The four quantum numbers, the principal quantum number (n), the angular momentum quantum number (), the magnetic quantum number (m), and the spin quantum number (m,) have strict rules which govern the possible values. Identify all allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron. On = 5, € = 2, me = 2, m, = - On = 4. € = 1, me = 2, m, = - On = 3, € = -2, me = -2, m, = - On = 6, € = 6, me = 0, m, = + %3D On = 2, = 1. me = -1, m, = 1 On = 3, = 2, m, = -2, m, = -
