- For an electron in a hydrogen atom in the n=2 state, compute: (a) the angular momentum; (b) the kinetic energy; (c) the potential energy; and (d) the total energy.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a model of the energy levels of an atom. The atom is initially in state W, which is the ground state for the atom. After a short amount of time, the atom then transitions to state X. The atom then transitions to state Y before transitioning to state Z. The atom then transitions back to state W. Which of the following descriptions is correct about the atom as it transitions from state W to each subsequent state until it finally returns to its original state?arrow_forward
