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.
