- How is the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom inconsistent with the uncertainty principle? In fact, it was this inconsistency, along with the theorys limited application to non-hydrogen-like systems, that limited Bohrs theory.arrow_forwardBased on the trend shown in Figure 11.5, draw the probability distribution of a harmonic oscillator wavefunction that has a very high value of n. Explain how this is consistent with the correspondence principle.arrow_forwardThe de Broglie equation for a particle can be applied to an electron orbiting a nucleus if one assumes that the electron must have an exact integral number of wavelengths as it covers the circumference of the orbit having radius r:n=2r. From this, derive Bohrs quantized angular momentum postulate.arrow_forward
- Consider a one-dimensional particle-in-a-box and a three-dimensional particle-in-a-box that have the same dimensions. a What is the ratio of the energies of a particle having the lowest possible quantum numbers in both boxes? b Does this ratio stay the same if the quantum numbers are not the lowest possible values?arrow_forwardThe wave function of an electron in the lowest (that is, ground) state of the hydrogen atom is (r)=( 1 a 0 3 )1/2exp(r a 0 )ao=0.5291010m (a) What is the probability of finding the electron inside a sphere of volume 1.0pm2 , centered at the nucleus (1pm=1012m) ? (b) What is the probability of finding the electron in a volume of 1.0pm2 at a distance of 52.9 pm from the nucleus, in a fixed but arbitrary direction? (c) What is the probability of finding the electron in a spherical shell of 1.0 pm in thickness, at a distance of 52.9 pm from the nucleus?arrow_forwardIn 1885, Johann Balmer, a mathematician, derived the following relation for the wavelength of lines in the visible spectrum of hydrogen =364.5 n2( n2 4) where in nanometers and n is an integer that can be 3, 4, 5, . . . Show that this relation follows from the Bohr equation and the equation using the Rydberg constant. Note that in the Balmer series, the electron is returning to the n=2 level.arrow_forward
- Draw, label, and explain the functions of the parts of a spectroscope.arrow_forwarda For a pendulum having classical frequency of 1.00s1, what is the energy difference in J between quantized energy levels? b Calculate the wavelength of light that must be absorbed in order for the pendulum to go from one level to another. c Can you determine in what region of the electromagnetic spectrum such a wavelength belongs? d Comment on your results for parts a and b based on your knowledge of the state of science in early twentieth century. Why wasnt the quantum mechanical behavior of nature noticed?arrow_forwardA 25-kg child is on a merry-go-round/calliope, going around and around in a large circle that has a radius of 8meters. The child has an angular momentum of 600kgm2/s. a From these facts, estimate the approximate quantum number for the angular momentum the child has. b Estimate the quantized amount of energy the child has in this situation. How does this compare to the childs classical energy? What principle does this illustrate?arrow_forward
