Consider the hydrogen atom (proton and electron)...
1. the radius of the lowest energy state is about 5x10^(-11) m. How
well can you know the momentum of the electron? In your solution, show
that you get units of momentum.
2. If energy is added, so that the electron moves up to the fifth
energy level, will the electron have moreor less momentum? Explain
your reasoning.
3. Consider two transitions:
(a) from level 5 to level 2
(b) from level 3 to level 2
both transitions produce photons in the visible range, one in the red
and the other in the blue. Which transition goes with which photon??
Justify your reasoning.
