Homework Statement



There is not really a problem, just a question which i am about to ask. The known data is

\alpha the fine structure constant
\hbar Plancks constant
c the speed of light
\mu permeability

Homework Equations



2\alpha \hbar = \pi^2 \mu_0 c

The Attempt at a Solution



A paper I downloaded a while back, but can't actually link to states this equation

2\alpha \hbar = \pi^2 \mu_0 c

in a derivation. It seemed a little odd, are the dimensions right? I noticed all the data in this equation are actually made up of constants. Is it wise to say that when you deal with dimensionless objects, they are always constants (for a separate question).
Thank you!

No. For example, angles are dimensionless.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
