    Calculating Spring Constant using Minimum Energy State of hydrogen atom

    Homework Statement A hydrogen chloride molecule may be modeled as a hydrogen atom (mass: 1.67 x10^-27 kg ) on a spring; the other end of the spring is attached to a rigid wall (the massive chlorine atom). If the minimum photon energy that will promote this molecule to its first excited...
