Question
The Bohr radius is given by `a_0 = (∈_0h^2)/{pime^2}`. Verify that the RHS has dimensions of length.
Advertisements
Solution
The dimensions of ε0 can be derived from the formula given below:
`a = (epsilon_0h^2)/(pime^2) = (A^2T^0(ML^2 T^-1)^2)/(L^2ML^-2 (AT)^2)`
`=(M^2L^2T^-2)/(M^2L^3T^-2) = L`
Clearly, a0 has the dimensions of length.

The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is B = `- (Me^4)/(8n^2ε_0^2h^2)`. (m = electron mass).

The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`.
