Atomic theory
ω represents frequency of rotation (number of rotations in 1 second).
_n_ represents an integer (particularly the Bohr quantum numbers).
The velocity of light is _c_ = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm. per second = 9·9 × 10⁸
feet per second.
The wave-length of yellow sodium light is 0·589 μ = 589 μμ = 2·32 ×
10⁻⁵ inches.
The frequency of yellow sodium light is 526 × 10¹² vibrations per
second.
The number of molecules per cm.³ at 0° C. and atmospheric pressure is
about 27 × 10¹⁸.
The number of hydrogen atoms in 1 g. is about 6·10²³.
The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1·65 × 10⁻²⁴ g.
The elementary quantum of electricity is 4·77 × 10⁻¹⁰ “electrostatic
units.”
The negative electric charge of an electron is 1 elementary quantum (1
negative charge).
The positive electric charge of a hydrogen nucleus is 1 elementary
quantum (1 positive charge).
The mass of an electron is ¹⁄₁₈₃₅ that of the hydrogen atom.
The diameter of an electron is estimated to be about 3 × 10⁻¹³ cm.
The diameter of the atomic nucleus is of the order of magnitude 10⁻¹³
to 10⁻¹² cm.
The diameter of a hydrogen atom in the normal state (the diameter of
the first stationary orbit in Bohr’s model) is 1·056 × 10⁻⁸ cm.
The Balmer constant K = 3·29 × 10¹⁵.
The Planck constant _h_ = 6·54 × 10⁻²⁷.
An energy quantum is E = _h_ν.
The Balmer-Ritz formula for the frequencies of the lines in the hydrogen
spectrum is
( 1 1 )
ν = K ( ------ - -------)
