- Draw a Grotrian-type diagram for the first four lines of the Lyman series in the hydrogen atom spectrum. Be sure to include all allowed transitions.arrow_forwardExplain why no lines in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom spectrum have wavenumbers larger than about 27,434cm1. This is called the series limit.arrow_forwardCalculate the energies of an electron in the fourth, fifth, and sixth energy levels of the Bohr hydrogen atom.arrow_forward
- The de Broglie equation for a particle can be applied to an electron orbiting a nucleus if one assumes that the electron must have an exact integral number of wavelengths as it covers the circumference of the orbit having radius r:n=2r. From this, derive Bohrs quantized angular momentum postulate.arrow_forwardIn exercise 11.57 regarding C60, what are the numerical values of the total angular momenta of the electron for each state having quantum number l? What are the z components of the angular momentum for each state?arrow_forwardHow is the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom inconsistent with the uncertainty principle? In fact, it was this inconsistency, along with the theorys limited application to non-hydrogen-like systems, that limited Bohrs theory.arrow_forward
- Using and labels, write two possible wavefunctions for an electron in the 3d2 orbital of He+.arrow_forwardBased on the trend shown in Figure 11.5, draw the probability distribution of a harmonic oscillator wavefunction that has a very high value of n. Explain how this is consistent with the correspondence principle.arrow_forwardIn the Stern-Gerlach experiment, silver atoms were used. This was a good choice, as it turned out. Using the electron configuration of silver atoms, explain why silver was a good candidate for being able to observe the intrinsic angular momentum of the electron. Hint: Dont use the aufbau principle to determine the electron configuration of Ag, because its one of the exceptions. Look up the exact electron configuration in a table.arrow_forward
- a For a pendulum having classical frequency of 1.00s1, what is the energy difference in J between quantized energy levels? b Calculate the wavelength of light that must be absorbed in order for the pendulum to go from one level to another. c Can you determine in what region of the electromagnetic spectrum such a wavelength belongs? d Comment on your results for parts a and b based on your knowledge of the state of science in early twentieth century. Why wasnt the quantum mechanical behavior of nature noticed?arrow_forwardGraph the first five wavefunctions for the harmonic oscillators and their probabilities. Superimpose these graphs on the potential energy function for a harmonic oscillator and numerically determine the x values of the classical turning points. What is the probability that an oscillator will exist beyond the classical turning points? Do plots of the probability begin to show a distribution as expected by the correspondence principle?arrow_forwardA 25-kg child is on a merry-go-round/calliope, going around and around in a large circle that has a radius of 8meters. The child has an angular momentum of 600kgm2/s. a From these facts, estimate the approximate quantum number for the angular momentum the child has. b Estimate the quantized amount of energy the child has in this situation. How does this compare to the childs classical energy? What principle does this illustrate?arrow_forward
