Model an atom as an electron confined in a rigid box of length 0.10nm. Calculate the wavelength of the emitted photon for the electronic transition from the second excited state to the ground state.Express your answer in units of nm.
What is the average radius of the orbit of an electron in the n=2 energy level of an oxygen atom (Z=8)? Express your answer in pico-meters.
Compute the intrinsic line-width (Δλ) of the Lyman α line (corresponding to the n=2 to n=1) transition for the Hydrogen atom. You may assume that the electron remains in the excited state for a time of the order of 10^−8s. The line-width may be computed using:ΔE=(hc/λ^2)Δλ
