17. (a) Show that in the ground state of the hydrogen atom the speed of the electron can be written as v = ac where a is the fine-structure constant. (b) From the value of a what can you conclude about the neglect of relativistic effects in the Bohr calculations? 18. Calculate the speed of the proton in a ground state hydrogen atom. 17.
