I think the answer is much more simple than this, but just don't know. It's a state answer, ie. the combined energy is greater than 13.60eV? That's what it would take to go to continuum? Is that right?

So, the proton and electron have equal energies when the atom is in continuum?

Still need an answer Can anyone genuine please help?

Hello, I really need help answering this question. I know when low mass stars die, they become white dwarfs (if their mass is less than 1.4M). But I don't know why the end points in the life of low mass stars help astromomers to understand the expansion history of the universe. How...

Thanks so much, James, for your help. I don't quite understand what you are saying about the combined energies of the proton and electron. I have to state the answer in one sentence. What should I say?

Hello, I really need help with this question. Continuum is when the proton/electrons exist in the continuous band of energy levels above the highest bound energy level of the atom. What can be said about the combined energies of the proton and electron is the hydrogen atom is in...
