Question in photo
A hydrogen atom has a radius of 0.05 nm with a position accuracy of 1.0%. Calculate the uncertainty in the atom’s velocity. Use "E" format for scientific notation (i.e. for 1.23 x 10, write as 1.23E–9). Do not Include the units in your answer.
In the relativistic treatment of the hydrogen atom (excluding QED), the 251/2 and 2P1/2 levels are found to be degenerate. Which of the
following best describes why?
Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer.
a The degeneracy is a result of the rotational symmetry of the H-atom
b
d
e
The Darwin and spin-orbit terms exactly cancel for both levels
Each individual contribution (mass-velocity, Darwin and spin-orbit) to the splitting only depend on the total angular momentum
quantum number j
The mass-velocity and Darwin terms exactly cancel for both levels
The degeneracy is due to a subtle symmetry of a 1/r potential when n = 1 and would no longer be the case for other n.
