Distance of Closest Approach
Gives the distance of closest approach of an alpha particle with kinetic energy K in a head-on collision with a nucleus.
Bohr Quantization of Angular Momentum
Quantizes the orbital angular momentum of an electron in stationary Bohr orbits to integral multiples of h/(2pi).
Radius of nth Bohr Orbit
Gives the radius of the nth orbit for a hydrogen-like atom of atomic number Z.
Speed of Electron in nth Bohr Orbit
Gives the orbital speed of an electron in the nth Bohr orbit of a hydrogen-like atom.
Energy Relations in Bohr Orbit
Relates the total energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy of an orbiting electron in a Coulomb field.
Energy of Electron in nth Bohr Orbit
Gives the quantized total energy of an electron in the nth orbit of a hydrogen-like atom.
Bohr Frequency Condition
States that the frequency of the emitted or absorbed photon is proportional to the energy difference between two stationary states.
Rydberg Formula for Spectral Lines
Calculates the wavelength of radiation emitted in an electron transition between principal quantum numbers n2 and n1.
Number of Spectral Lines
Gives the total number of distinct spectral emission lines possible when electrons de-excite between two levels.
de Broglie Standing Wave Condition
Relates the circumference of the nth stable Bohr orbit to an integral number of electron de Broglie wavelengths.
Reduced Mass in Two-Body Atomic Systems
Gives the effective mass replacing electron mass when nuclear motion is considered, as in muonic atoms or positronium.
