A hydrogen atom consists of a proton and an electron. According to the Bohr theory, the electron revolves about the proton in a circle of radius a (a = 5 · 10−9cm for the ground state). According to quantum mechanics, the electron may be at any distance r (from 0 to ∞) from the proton; for the ground state, the probability that the electron is in a volume element dV , at a distance r to r + dr from the proton, is proportional to e−2r/adV , where a is the Bohr radius. Write dV in spherical coordinates (see Chapter 5, Section 4) and find the density function f(r) so that f(r) dr is the probability that the electron is at a distance between r and r + drfrom the proton. (Remember that the probability for the electron to be somewhere must be 1.) Computer plot f(r) and show that its maximum value is at r = a; we then say that the most probable value of r is a. Also show that the average value of r−1 is a−1.
In Einstein's photoelectric experiment, the kinetic energy (K.E.) of an electron displaced from a metal by a photon was the difference between the energy of a photon and a threshold energy value for the metal.

A certain microwave oven delivers 750 watts (J/s) of power to a coffee cup containing 66.6 g of water at 37.5°C. If the wavelength of microwaves in the oven is 9.75 cm, how long does it take, and how many photons must be absorbed, to make the water boil?

Express the speed of the electron in the Bohr model in terms of the fundamental constants (me, e, h, 0), the nuclear charge and the quantum number n. Evaluate the speed of an electron in the ground states of He+ ion and U91+. Compare these speeds with the speed of light c. As the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, relativistic effects become important. In which kinds of atoms do you expect relativistic effects to be greatest?
