For this problem, consider a model of the hydrogen atom where the "atom" is an electron confined to be in a one-dimensional box. Take the length of the box, L, to be twice the Bohr radius ao. The Bohr radius is given by ao 5.292 10-11 [m]. = 1. What is the wavelength of the electron in its ground state? 2. What is the momentum of the electron in its ground state? 3. What is the kinetic energy of the electron in its ground state? 4. How does this energy compare to the binding energy of hydrogen?
