(a) Use Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom to show that
when the electron moves from the n state to the n – 1 state,
the frequency of the emitted light is
2n – 1
e
f =
п?(п — 1)2
(b) Bohr's correspondence principle claims that quantum
results should reduce to classical results in the limit of
large quantum numbers. Show that as n→ 0, this expres-
sion varies as 1/n³ and reduces to the classical frequency
one expects the atom to emit. Suggestion: To calculate the
classical frequency, note that the frequency of revolution is
v/2Tr, where vis the speed of the electron and ris given by
Equation 41.10.
(a) Using Bohr’s second postulate of quantization of orbital angular momentum show that the circumference of the electron in the n,h orbital state in hydrogen atom is n times the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it.
(b) The electron in hydrogen atom is initially in the third excited state. What is the maximum number of spectral lines which can be emitted when it finally moves to the ground state?
The wave function for the Is state of an electron in the hydrogen
atom is
VIs(P) =
e-p/ao
where ao is the Bohr radius. The probability of finding the electron in
a region W of R³ is equal to
J, P(x, y, 2) dV
where, in spherical coordinates,
p(p) = |V1s(P)²
Use integration in spherical coordinates to show that the probability of
finding the electron at a distance greater than the Bohr radius is equal to
5/e = 0.677. (The Bohr radius is ao =5.3 x 10-1" m, but this value
is not needed.)
