It relates the lifetime of a state At with the measured spread in the photon energy AE associated with the decay of this state to a stationary state of the system. "Derive" the relation AE At ≥ h/2 in the following steps. a. Starting from E = p/2m and AE = (dE/dpx)^px, Vx Apx. show that AE = b. Using vx = Ax/At, show that AE At = ApxAx ≥ h/2. c.

4. In Section 1.3 we used dimensional analysis to show that the size of a hydrogen atom can be understood by assuming that the electron in the atom is wave-like and non-relativistic. In this problem we show that, if we assume the electron in the atom is a classical electron described by the theory of relativity, dimensional analysis gives an atomic size which is four orders of magnitude too small. Consider a relativistic, classical theory of an electron moving in the Coulomb potential of a proton. Such a theory only involves three physical constants: m, /4mc9, and e, the maximum velocity in relativity. Show that it is possible to construct a length from these three physical constants, but show that it too small to characterize the size of the atom.
