- For a hydrogen atom in an excited state with principal quantum number n, show that the smallest angle that the orbital angular momentum vector can make with respect to the z-axis is =cos1( n1n) .arrow_forwardThe wavefunction for an electron in the Hydrogen atom is provided in figure 1, where B is a constant, and a0 is the Bohr radius. By inspection and using the angular part of the wavefunction, identify the value of the quantum numbers l and ml, then operate on this wavefunction with Lˆz, and use your result to verify the value of ml identified.arrow_forwardConsider hydrogen in the ground state, 100 . (a) Use the derivative to determine the radial position for which the probability density, P(r), is a maximum. (b) Use the integral concept to determine the average radial position. (This is called the expectation value of the electrons radial position.) Express your answers into terms of the Bohr radius, a0. Hint: The expectation value is the just average value, (c) Why are these values different?arrow_forward

(b) What is thefrequency of the radiation that would induce a transition betweenthese two states? (c) What is the wavelength of this radiation, and (d)to what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it belong?arrow_forwardFor a hydrogen atom, determine the allowed states corresponding to the principal quantum number n = 2 and calculate the energies of these states.arrow_forward
