Circle the final answer
(1) Calculate (a) the energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom when n =2 .
(b) Calculate the frequency .

(2) The Lyman series of emission lines of the hydrogen atom are those for which nf =1.
(f means final). Calculate the wavelengths (in nm) of the first three lines in the series-those for
which ni = 2, 3, and 4. (i means initial)

(3) Using Heisenberg s uncertainty principle, calculate the uncertainty in the position of
(a) a 1.50-mg object moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s if the speed is known to within
1% m /s .

(b) a proton moving at a speed of 5.00 x 104 1% m /s. (Check the very last page of your
