Chapter 39, Problem 60E

(a)

To determine

The quantum number $n$ of the orbit of the orbit of the satellite by assuming satellite revolves like electron in the hydrogen atom.

(b)

To determine

To show: Bohr’s angular momentum result and newton’s law of gravitation that the radius of an earth satellite orbit is directly proportional to the square of the quantum number, $r=k{n}^2$, where $k$ is the constant of proportionality.

(c)

To determine

The distance between the orbit of the satellite in the problem and its next “allowed “orbit.

(d)

To determine

Comment on the possibility of observing the separation of the two adjacent orbits.

(e)

To determine

Whether classical or quantized orbits correspond for this satellite and which is the correct method for calculating the orbits.
