Ok, so E(1s) = 13.6/1^2 = 13.6 E(2p) = 13.6/2^2 = 3.4 dE = E(1s)-E(2p) = 10.2 dE/E(1s) = 3/4 Thanks!

[SOLVED] Bohr Model of H-atom Hi, Would anyone be good enough to explain why the 1s2p splitting in a hydrogen atom is 3/4 of the total binding energy? Would it have anything to do with the Rydberg energy? E = - 13.6eV/n^2 I appear to have floated through my degree blissfully...
