Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy - Quantum Chemistry 7.2 - Hydrogen Atom Energy Levels

Short lecture on hydrogen atom energy levels. The solutions to the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom quantum mechanical model system produce wavefunctions which depend on three quantum numbers. The principal quantum number n starts at 1 and goes up to infinity. The energy only depends on the principal quantum number. The energy levels depend inverse quadratically on n, and their degeneracy depends on the square of n. The constant pre-factor gives the Rydberg constant, in nearly exact agreement with the simple Bohr model of the hydrogen atom.
