- For an electron in a hydrogen atom in the n=2 state, compute: (a) the angular momentum; (b) the kinetic energy; (c) the potential energy; and (d) the total energy.arrow_forward(a) Using the Bohr model, calculate the speed of the electron in a hydrogen atom in the n = 1, 2, and 3 levels. (b) Calculate the orbital period in each of these levels. (c) The average lifetime of the first excited level of a hydrogen atom is 1.0 * 10-8 s. In the Bohr model, how many orbits does an electron in the n = 2 level complete before returning to the ground level?arrow_forwardConsidering the Bohr’s model, given that an electron is initially located at the ground state (n=1n=1) and it absorbs energy to jump to a particular energy level (n=nxn=nx). If the difference of the radius between the new energy level and the ground state is rnx−r1=5.247×10−9rnx−r1=5.247×10−9, determine nxnx and calculate how much energy is absorbed by the electron to jump to n=nxn=nx from n=1n=1.

- In the mid-1800s, scientists observed four visible lines in the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom. These lines had wavelengths of 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm, and 656 nm, where 1 nm = 10-⁹ m. This series of lines is part of what became known as the Balmer series, after Johann Balmer demonstrated that their wavelengths A could be described by the equation 1 2 = 1.1 x 107 Although this equation worked, it was some time before scientists understood why it worked. In the early 1900s, Niels Bohr proposed that the electron in a hydrogen atom could exist only in certain quantized energy states. These states were given by the equation E = -13.6/n² eV. He further proposed that when an electron moved from a higher energy state to a lower one, the excess energy was released as a packet, or quantum, of light known as a photon. The corresponding wavelength of a photon could then be found with the equation λ = hc/E, where E is the energy of the photon, h = 4.1 x 10-15 eV's is Planck's constant, and…arrow_forwardQuantum Physicsarrow_forwardWhen a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 1 level, a photon with l = 122 nm is emitted.

The difference between the lowest energy state (the ground state) and the second to lowest energy state (the first excited state) is about 2.5 eV. The temperature of the sun’s atmosphere is about 5800 K (so kBT = 0.5 eV).
