Homework Statement
Consider a Hydrogen atom in the ground state
Find:
A- The Kinetic Energy, in eV
B - The Potential Energy, in eV
C - The Total Energy, in eV
D - minimum energy required to remove the electron completely from the atom, in eV
E - What wavelength does a photon with the energy calculated in part (D) have
Homework Equations
Vn= (1/Eo)(e2/2nh)
Kn = 1/2 mv2 = (1/E02)(me4/8n2h2)
Un = (1/E02)(me4/4n2h2)
mass of H =1.008
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea. I know i need to use the first listed equation to solve for v in order to use the second and find the Kinetic Energy. But how do i do the first equation since i do not know the E0
Please guide me
