(1) The value of n associated with the 94.96 nm spectral line in the Lyman series of hydrogen is 3. This wavelength could not be associated with the Paschen or Balmer series. (2) Constructing an energy-level diagram for the He+ ion and stating that the ionization energy for He+ is 54.4 eV. (3) Estimating the uncertainty in an electron's momentum, kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy in terms of the radius r of its orbit around a proton. Finding the value of r that minimizes the total energy, resulting in a stable hydrogen atom, and comparing the answers to the predictions of the Bohr theory.

1 (a) what value of ni is associated with the 94.96 nm spectral line in the Lyman series of hydrogen?

(b) Could this wavelength be associated with the Paschen series? The Balmer series? [5]

2 Construct an energy-level diagram for the He+ ion, for which Z = 2. (b) What is the ionization energy for He+? [54.4 eV]

3 An electron of momentum p is at a distance r from a stationary proton. The electron has kinetic energy K = p2/2me. The atom has potential energy U = - kee2/r and total energy E = K + U. If the electron is bound to the proton to form a hydrogen atom, its average position is at the proton but the uncertainty in its position is approximately equal to the radius r of its orbit. The electrons average vector momentum is zero, but its average squared momentum is approximately equal to the squared uncertainty in its momentum as given by the uncertainty principle. Treating the atom as a one-dimensional system, (a) estimate the uncertainty in the electrons momentum in terms of r. (b) Estimate the electrons kinetic, potential, and total energies in terms of r. (c) The actual value of r is the one that minimizes the total energy, resulting in a stable atom. Find that value of r and the resulting total energy. State how yours answers compare with the predictions of the Bohr theory. [-13.6 eV]
