Consider the element Hydrogen. In this atom, assume the electron travels with a speed of 6.8 105 m/s. What is the radius between the nucleus and the orbiting electron in m?
One cubic meter of atomic hydrogen at 0°C and atmospheric pressure contains approximately 2.70 x 10 atoms. The first excited state of the hydrogen atom has an energy of 10.2 eV above the lowest energy level, called the ground state. Use the Boltzmann factor to find the number of atoms in the first excited state at 0°C and at 10 000°C
In a hydrogen atom, an electron is electrically bound to a proton. The binding energy is the energy required to pull the electron away from the proton. The binding energy depends on
k = the Coulomb constant = 9 x 109 kg m3 s-2 C-2,
h = Planck's constant = 6.6 x 10-34 kg m2 s-1,
m = the mass of the electron = 9.1 x 10-31 kg, and
e = the magnitude of the electron's charge = 1.6 x 10-19 C.
There is only one way to combine k, h, m, and e in such a way that it has units of energy. That is,
?=???ℎ?????E=Akahbmced ,
where A is a dimensionless constant, and a, b, c, and d are various powers. Assuming A = 1, estimate E, in units of 10-19 J.

Suppose a particular detector on the telescope is sensitive over part of the near-infrared region of wavelengths 980 to 1920 nm. Astronomers want to detect the radiation being emitted from a red giant star and decide to concentrate on wavelengths from the Paschen series of the hydrogen atom.
