- 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_forwardThe Bohr model correctly predicts the main energy levels not only for atomic hydrogen but also for other "one-electron" atoms where all but one of the atomic electrons has been removed, such as in He+ (one electron removed) or Li++ (two electrons removed). (a) Predict the energy in eV of a photon emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state in eV for a system consisting of a nucleus containing Z = 21 protons and just one electron.arrow_forwardA hydrogen atom is in a state with energy -1.51 eV. Using the Bohr model: (a) Calculate the angular momentum of the electron in the atom with respect to an axis at the nucleus. (b) Calculate the speed of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forward
- (a) How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 2 state to the n = 5 state? in J(b) Suppose the atom gains this energy through collisions among hydrogen atoms at a high temperature. At what temperature would the average atomic kinetic energy 3/2 * kBT be great enough to excite the electron? Here kB is Boltzmann's constant. in Karrow_forward(a) How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 2 state to the n = 5 state?in J(b) Suppose the atom gains this energy through collisions among hydrogen atoms at a high temperature. At what temperature would the average atomic kinetic energy 3/2 * kBT be great enough to excite the electron? Here kB is Boltzmann's constant. in Karrow_forwardConsider an electron in the ground state of a Hydrogen atom: a) Find () and (²) in terms of the Bohr radius a0. b) Find (-) for state n = 2, 1 = 1 and m = 1 considering that x = r cos 0 sin ø.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_forwardThe Bohr model correctly predicts the main energy levels not only for atomic hydrogen but also for other "one-electron" atoms where all but one of the atomic electrons has been removed, such as in He+ (one electron removed) or Li++ (two electrons removed). The negative muon (μ−)behaves like a heavy electron, with the same charge as the electron but with a mass 207 times as large as the electron mass. As a moving μ− comes to rest in matter, it tends to knock electrons out of atoms and settle down onto a nucleus to form a "one-muon" atom. For a system consisting of a nucleus of iridium (Ir192 with 77 protons and 115 neutrons) and just one negative muon, predict the energy in eV of a photon emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state. The high-energy photons emitted by transitions between energy levels in such "muonic atoms" are easily observed in experiments with muons.arrow_forwardThree energy levels exist in a particular atom (not necessarily hydrogen-like with a single electron [Bohr model doesn’t apply]) such that when an electron transitions from the n=3 energy level to n=2, a photon of wavelength 600 nm is emitted. When an electron transitions from n=3 to n=1 a photon of wavelength 200 nm is emitted. The wavelength of the emitted photon when an electron transitions from n=2 to n=1 is ____ nm.arrow_forward

Compare your answer with the radius of the Bohr orbit for n=3. (2) What is the probability that this electron is outside the radius given by the Bohr model?arrow_forwardConsider the Bohr-model description of a hydrogen atom. (a) Calculate E2 - E1 and E10 - E9 . As n increases, does the energy separation between adjacent energy levels increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Show that En+1 - En approaches (27.2 eV)/n3 as n becomes large. (c) How does rn+1 - rn depend on n? Does the radial distance between adjacent orbits increase, decrease, or stay the same as n increasesarrow_forward
