Start with Equation (4.30) use the binomial expansion to show that this transition produces a photon with wavelength approximately
(b)
To determine
Obtain the same result as in part (a), this time start with Equation (4.25) and compute
(c)
To determine
Using the approximate expression you derived in (a) and (b) compute the wavelength for a transition from

with explination please..
If a hydrogen atom in the ground state absorbs a 93.7 nm photon, corresponding to a
transition line in the Lyman series, how does this affect the atom's energy and size?
How much energy is needed to ionize the atom when it is in this excited state? Give
your answers in absolute units, and relative to the ground state.
(the Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and resulting ultraviolet emission lines of
the hydrogen atom as an electron goes from n ≥ 2 to n = 1 (where n is the principal quantum number),
the lowest energy level of the electron.)
Which one of the following statements about the exchange energy of the few lowest excited states of helium, in which the two electrons are in
different subshells, is incorrect?

In the absence of the exchange energy, the degeneracy between 1s¹2s¹ and 1s¹2p¹ configurations would only be lifted by
relativistic corrections.
For a given configuration and L the exchange energy favours (ie the energy is lower for) S-1 compared with S=0
O
For a given configuration and L the exchange energy favours states that are spatially anti-symmetric
The exchange energy gives larger shifts in the levels than relativistic corrections
L, S remain good quantum numbers in the presence of the exchange energy

- please help me with this problem. ASAP! show complete and explicit solution. do not skip any mathematical steparrow_forwardCould someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy. Though ideally I would before it come in before the end of the day.arrow_forwardneed help with the derivation for the first partarrow_forward
