Dimensionless Variables

🧠 Remember: Bohr model of the atom had energy levels

$$ E_n=\frac{-E_R}{n^2} \qquad \text{with}\; E_R=\frac{m_ee^4}{2(4\pi\varepsilon_0)^2\hbar^2}=13.6\,\mathrm{eV} $$

with radii

$$ a_n = a_0n^2 \quad \text{with}\; a_0=\frac{4\pi\varepsilon_0\hbar^2}{m_ee^2}=0.53\,\r{\text{A}} $$

Large $\rho$

Small $\rho$
