Just stuck on a few problems on my homework, any help?

1. How many different sets of quantum numbers are possible for an electron for which:

a) n=1
b) n=2
c)n=3
d)n=4
e)n=5


2. For a hydrogen atom in its ground state, use the Bohr model to compute:

a) the orbital speed of the electron
b) the KE of the electron
c) the electrical potential energy of the atom


3. A monoenergetic bema of electrons is incident on a single slit of width 0.500nm. A diffraction pattern is formed on a screen 20.0cm from the slit. If the distance between successive minima of the diffraction pattern is 2.10cm, what is the energy of the incident electrons?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi there,

For future reference we have https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=152" specifically for such questions. Also, according to the rules of the forums (which you have agreed to); you are required to show some effort in solving the problems yourself.

Perhaps if you posted your ideas we could direct you down the right path...

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
