Modern Physics

This document discusses several problems related to Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom and Schrodinger's equation. [1] It asks about calculating the wavelength and value of the Rydberg constant from the observed angle of a spectral line from a hydrogen discharge tube. [2] It questions the uncertainty in radial coordinate and velocity of an electron according to Bohr's model and how it violates the uncertainty principle. [3] Multiple problems are presented calculating energy levels, probabilities of finding an electron at different radial distances, and the most likely location of an electron in a specific quantum state.

Problem 36.! "#$
The hydrogen spectrum is found by collimating the light from a hydrogen
discarge tube and shining it on a grating to disperse the light into its various
colors. The grating spacing is d = 3.377 m. A bright red line (m=1) is seen
at an angle of 11.233 from the center of the spectroscope. A) !hat is the
"avelength of this spectral line# $) Assuming this line is from a transition
from level n
