- Show that the value of the Rydberg constant per photon, 2.179 1018 J, is equivalent to 1312 kJ/mol photons.arrow_forwardAt what speed must an electron travel to have a wavelength of 10.0 pm?arrow_forwardWrite down the expression for the radial distribution function of a 2p electron in a hydrogenic atom of atomic number Z and identify the radius at which the electron is most likely to be found.arrow_forward
- I've been told that my answer to 6b is incorrect. How can I tell where on the electromagnetic spectrum a wavelength lies and is there a way to do it without a chart?arrow_forwardNeutrons, like electrons and photons, are particle-waves whose diffraction patterns can be used to determine the structures of molecules. Calculate the kinetic energy (in J) of a neutron with wavelength 51.1 pm.arrow_forwardList and describe the signif icance of the quantum numbers needed to specify the internal state of a hydrogenic atom.arrow_forward
- What values of J may occur in the terms (i) 3D, (ii) 4D, (iii) 2G? How many states (distinguished by the quantum number MJ) belong to each level?arrow_forwardThe ionization potential of the hydrogen atom is 13.6V. Calculate:(a.) The speed of an electron which could just ionize the hydrogen atom,(b.) The minimum wavelength which the hydrogen atom can emit.arrow_forwardFor the system described in Exercise E7B.1(b) (A possible wavefunction for an electron in a region of length L is sin(3πx/L). Normalize this wavefunction (to 1)), what is the probability of finding the electron in the range dx at x = L/6?arrow_forward
- An electron is confined to a square well of length L. What would be the length of the box such that the zero-point energy of the electron is equal to its rest mass energy, mec2? Express your answer in terms of the parameter λC = h/mec, the ‘Compton wavelength’ of the electron.arrow_forwardWhat is the minimum value of the principal quantum number (n) when l = 2?arrow_forwardWhat is the frequency of the photons emitted by hydrogen atoms when they undergo transitions from n = 5 to n = 3?arrow_forward
