Describe the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom with the aid of a sketch and an equation for the allowed state energies for which the ground state energy is -13.61 eV. Define all variables used. [2 marks] (b) De Broglie’s equation defines a wavelength for a particle, yet in the view of quantum mechanics, matter is in the form of particles and not waves. Explain how this apparent paradox is resolved by carefully defining the variables in de Broglie’s equation. [1 mark] (c) Explain why atoms do not collapse with reference to the quantum uncertainty principle and with the aid of a sketch. [2 marks] c) Explain two observations with the photoelectric effect that lead to the conclusion that light comes in the form of particles (photons)?
