Question 1.

The magnitude of the hydrogen atom wave function is fixed by the Schrodinger equation.

       True
       False

Question 2.

The energy levels obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom are only slightly different than those obtained in the Bohr Model.

       True
       False

Question 3.

A state is degenerate if it has the same energy but different quantum numbers as another state.

       True
       False

Question 4.

In the Hydrogen atom, there are 5 degenerate states which all have the principle quantum number n=2.

       True
       False

Question 1.

Which of these is not a quantum number of the Hydrogen atom?

      a. n
      b. m_l
      c. l
      d. r

Question 2.

Compared to a state with angular momentum l=1, a state with l=0 will spend

      a. less time near to the nucleus.
      b. more time near to the nucleus.
      c. same time near nucleus, since the distance from nucleus is determined by the radial quantum number n.
      d. more time somewhere near Cancun.
