Guest bazza Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 I need to know how to write a formula that describes the energy of each of the quantum states of a hydrogen-like ion. How do I then use this equation to calculate the energies of the first three energy levels of hydrogen-like carbon atom? Expressed in electronvolts.
Meir Achuz Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 E=-Z^2*m*alpha^2/(2*n^2), where Z=6 for carbon, alpha=1/137 m=511 keV n=1,2,3. This gives E=-490/n^2 eV for Carbon.
