(choose chapter or problem)

The quantum-mechanical treatment of the hydrogen atom gives the energy, E, of the electron as a function of the principal quantum number, n: where h is Plancks constant, me is the electron mass, and a0 is 52.92_10_12 m. (a)Write the expression in the form E __(constant) , evaluate the constant (in J), and compare it with the corresponding expression from Bohrs theory. (b) Use the expression to find E between n _ 2 and n _ 3. (c) Calculate the wavelength of the photon that corresponds to this energy change. Is this photon seen in the hydrogen spectrum obtained from experiment (see Figure 7.8, p. 276)?
