Discussion Session on Bohrs atom, Shroedinger equation of Hydrogen
atom, resistance and DC current
Problem 36.! "#$
The hydrogen spectrum is found by collimating the light from a hydrogen
discarge tube and shining it on a grating to disperse the light into its various
colors. The grating spacing is d = 3.377 m. A bright red line (m=1) is seen
at an angle of 11.233 from the center of the spectroscope. A) !hat is the
"avelength of this spectral line# $) Assuming this line is from a transition
from level n
1
= 3 to level n
2
= 2 (i.e. the longest "avelength $almer series
transition)% "hat do you calculate for the value of the &ydberg constant#
Conce%tual Problem
According to $ohr's model of ( atom% "hat is the uncertainty in the radial
coordinate of the electron# !hat is the uncertainty in the radial component
of the velocity of the electron# )n "hat "ay does the model violate the
uncertainty principle#
Problem "#& '.3(
!hat is the minimum potential difference that must be applied across an *+ray tube in
order to observe the ,
line of tungsten (- = 7.)# /(int0 the minimum potential

minimum "avelength that can be obtained for n
