Explanation De Broglie wavelength of a particle is given by, λ = h p (I) Here, λ is the wavelength of the particle, h is the Planck’s constant, p is the momentum. De Broglie equation relates a moving particles wavelength with its momentum. De Broglie hypothesis says that the matter also behaves like waves. The dual nature of matter finds its evidence in de Broglie equation. Compton wavelength is a constant value which is given by λ C =

Quantum mechanics and hydrogen atom

Consider an electron of mass m moves with the velocity v in a hydrogen atom. If an electron is at a distance r from the proton, then the potential energy function of the electron can be written as follows:

Isotopes of Hydrogen Atoms

To understand isotopes, it's easiest to learn the simplest system. Hydrogen, the most basic nucleus, has received a great deal of attention. Several of the results seen in more complex nuclei can be seen in hydrogen isotopes. An isotope is a nucleus of t…

Mass of Hydrogen Atom

Hydrogen is one of the most fundamental elements on Earth which is colorless, odorless, and a flammable chemical substance. The representation of hydrogen in the periodic table is H. It is mostly found as a diatomic molecule as water H2O on earth. It is …
