Chapter 4, Problem 34P

(a)

To determine

The difference in the various Bohr radii $r_n$  for the hydrogen atom between $r_1$  and $r_2$ .

(b)

To determine

The difference in the various Bohr radii $r_n$  for the hydrogen atom between $r_5$  and $r_6$ .

(c)

To determine

The difference in the various Bohr radii $r_n$  for the hydrogen atom between $r_{10}$  and $r_{11}$ .

(d)

To determine

Show that for Rydberg atoms (hydrogen atoms with large n) the difference between successive radii is approximately $2n{a}_0$ .
