Calculate the size of the hydrogen atom

Reference no: EM13260920

A hydrogen atom consists of a single proton and a single electron. Experimentally it is found that it takes 13.6eV of energy to strip the electron from the proton. Assuming the particles are bound together by the Coulomb force with the e- undergoing circular motion about the proton and that classical physics applies; calculate the size of the hydrogen atom.
