From the energy-level diagram for hydrogen, explain the observation that the frequency of the second Lyman-series line is the sum of the frequencies of the first Lyman-series line and the first Balmer-series line.This is an example of the empirically discovered Ritz combination principle. Use the diagram to find some other valid combinations.
Explain the following a. Is there any effect of the mass of nucleus on the scattering angle in Rutherford experiment? b. How can we use the formulas of expectation values for energy and momentum to extract their values? Explain. c.
