Estimate the size of H atom and energy of the ground state

Reference no: EM13535694

Use the uncertainty principle to estimate the size of an H atom and the energy of the ground state
Then, assuming some radius r, calculate the related uncertainty in momentum p to get the KE. Minimize the total energy to determine r and the ground state energy.
