It may be argued on theoretical grounds that the radius of the hydrogen atom should depend only on the fundamental constants h, e, the electrostatic force constant k = 1/4πℰ0, and m (the electron’s mass). Use dimensional analysis to show that the combination of these factors that yields a result with dimensions of length is h2kme2.
What are the (a) energy, (b) magnitude of the momentum, and (c) wavelength of the photon emitted when a hydrogen atom

A doubly ionized lithium atom (Li++) is one that has had two of its three electrons removed. The energy levels of the remaining single-electron ion are closely related to those of the hydrogen atom. The nuclear charge for lithium is +3e instead of just +e. How are the energy levels related to those of hydrogen? How is the radius of the ion in the ground level related to that of the hydrogen atom? Explain.
