Problem

An electron in the Li2+{\rm Li}^{2+} ion is in the fourth stationary orbit (n=4n=4). (a) Calculate the radius of this orbit in ångströms. (b) Determine the kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy of the electron in this orbit in electron-volt. (c) Find the time period of revolution of the electron in this orbit and express it in femtoseconds (1 fs=10−15 s1\,\text{fs}=10^{-15}\,\text{s}).
