What isarrow_forward∆E ∆t ≥ ħTime is a parameter, not an observable. ∆t is some timescale over which the expectation value of an operator changes. For example, an electron's angular momentum in a hydrogen atom decays from 2p to 1s. These decays are relativistic, however the uncertainty principle is still valid, and we can use it to estimate uncertainties. The lifetime of hydrogen in the 2p state to decay to the Is ground state is 1.6 x 10-9 s. Estimate the uncertainty ∆E in energy of this excited state. What is the corresponding linewidth in angstroms?arrow_forwardProblem 1: (a) A non-relativistic, free particle of mass m is bouncing back and forth between two perfectly reflecting walls separated by a distance L.

The two particles are interacting via the electric Coulomb potential. 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 electron's average momentum will be zero, but the uncertainty in its momentum will be given by the uncertainty principle. Treat the atom as a one-dimensional system to solve the following questions. (a) Estimate the uncertainty in the electron's momentum in terms of r. (b) Estimate the electron's 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. Compare your answer with the predictions of the Bohr theory.arrow_forward
