Minimum energy of the electron in the box


The size of the hydrogen atom grows in proportion to n=2, where n is the principal quantum number. For the atom in the n = 10 state, model the electron as being in a one-dimensional box (with rigid walls) of length equal to the atom's diameter. Apply boundary conditions to obtain the minimum energy of the electron in this box. Compare this energy with that of the n = 10 state of hydrogen.
