Abstract
In the present study, we use the indeterministic method based on uncertainty conditions to estimate the discrete energy levels of hydrogen atoms. We analyze in detail how transitions from the ground state (n = 1) to the first excited state (n = 2) occur by dividing into sub-states and introducing the indeterminacy concept. The calculated energy levels expressed that as the indeterminacy changes, the energy level increases from -13.60 eV to -3.40 eV and there is observed a decrease in energy required to transition from each sub-state to n = 2. Such as for the transition from n = 1.1 to n = 2.0 there is a need for 9.18 eV. As a result, it is found that our new approach exploits the uncertainty principle to reveal deep trends in the energy transition. This work has significant implications for atomic physics and energy applications, spectroscopy and quantum mechanics. Our findings demonstrate the potential of imprecise data to contribute significantly to scientific understanding.
期刊介绍:
High Energy Density Physics is an international journal covering original experimental and related theoretical work studying the physics of matter and radiation under extreme conditions. ''High energy density'' is understood to be an energy density exceeding about 1011 J/m3. The editors and the publisher are committed to provide this fast-growing community with a dedicated high quality channel to distribute their original findings.
Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover topics in both the warm and hot dense matter regimes, such as laboratory studies relevant to non-LTE kinetics at extreme conditions, planetary interiors, astrophysical phenomena, inertial fusion and includes studies of, for example, material properties and both stable and unstable hydrodynamics. Developments in associated theoretical areas, for example the modelling of strongly coupled, partially degenerate and relativistic plasmas, are also covered.
