The Hydrogen Atom of Bohr II: Mean Lifetime of an Ensemble of Excited Hydrogen atoms
Abstract
"Does God play dice with the Universe?" The natural width of excited hydrogen atoms are found using the Bohr's model of this atom and de Broglie's ideas. The mean life time of the excited states is a characteristic only of a statistical ensemble of many atoms.
