Question-1 Briefly sketch how Bohr derived the Rydberg’s empirical formula for atomic spectra using mix of classical mechanics and some ad hoc quantum assumptions. Indicate which steps in the derivation are motivated by classical mechanics and which are the quantum assumptions.
Question-2 Compute ionization energies of H, He+ and Li++ ions (Essentially all of them are one electron atoms) from ground state. Explain the trend.
please note the ground state energy for He+ is ~79 eV instead of 108 eV. The reason behind this is a totally quantum mechanics concept. For this energy proof, you can look into my notes .
