Homework Statement
Calculate a diameter of an H-atom with n=732. Calculate also the value of the wavenumber corresponding to the transition from n=732 to n=731
Homework Equations
E_{trans}= \frac{-E_{h}}{(732)^2}-\frac{-E_{h}}{(731)^2}}
The Attempt at a Solution
E_{trans}= \frac{-13.6}{(732)^2}-\frac{-13.6}{(731)^2}}=6.95\cdot10^{-5} eV
E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{4.135\cdot10^{-15}\cdot 3\cdot10^8}{6.95\cdot10^{-5}}=0.0178 m
Homework Statement
now going back to the wavenumber, i was not sure which formula i should use...
k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda} or \nu=\frac{1}{\lambda}
I have chosen the second one and i got
\nu=\frac{1}{0.0178}=56.18 m^{-1}
Homework Statement
Is that a relevant result?
The Attempt at a Solution
the diameter will be=
d_{n}=2\cdot r_{0}\cdot n^2= 2\cdot (732)^2\cdot 5.291\cdot10^{-5} = 5.67\cdot10^{-5} m
