I give up Physics, this shit fucking blows Goats, so does my teacher



you guys are getting trolled. Just look a few posts above.

That's NOT what I needed. Sigh. That's some easy bullshit. I had to find the Bohr radius of hydrogenic Neon FIRST before I did anything else. Do you really think if it was that simple i would be bitching to you guys here?

Thank you for the walkthrough, I appreciate it. I actually figured it out earlier (n = 10), but it was definitely a pain. 2 more problems left on the test. The trickiest part by far was finding the original E for Ne 9+. I didn't know that it's simply the bohr radius divided by Z. Searched everywhere for that.

I used n = 10 to simply find the energy of the photon (non relativistic of course). Thanks again man! What did you major in?

QM is definitely very strange, but that's part of what makes it fun. We still don't understand what it means for physical reality, and there are plenty of people in the Foundations of Physics community who are trying to answer that question as we speak.[/url]

There are also plenty of people who believe they already know the answer and they're making people believe some very strange things about reality in the process. It's discouraging people from even being interested in taking the field seriously.

Please feel free to show me why n = 10 and I'll concede that I'm a complete and total fucktard and never show my face around these parts again. Note: actually prove it, don't bullshit me because I know my way around these woods now.

We already know you're a fucktard so I went ahead and banned you completely
 
And here I was trying to be nice. Ah well. Gullible me, trolled again.

I think I know what you're talking about now. There's a lot of pseudoscientific, new-agey nonsense in popular culture that justifies itself with quantum mechanics. You and I both agree that the promulgators of this trash are full of shit. Most of them aren't scientists, and those who are get ostracized by the community.

Honestly, though, I think all the "strangeness" (and there's plenty of legitimate, scientific strangeness) is very appealing to a lot of people. I was fascinated by it as an undergraduate, and so were my friends who majored in physics. We spent many an afternoon debating the intricacies of QM over coffee and cigarettes, tackling meaty problem sets, and even reading through the original papers of Bohr, Heisenberg, and others. I still spend a lot of my time working with that material.

LOL and to top it off, he claimed it was a problem on a take home test; those types of problems are standard freshman General Chemistry that everyone has to take.
 
Ok, please answer this for me master:

What wavelength photon would be required to excite ground state hydrogenic Neon to the principle quantum number whose energy is equal to the ground state of hydrogen. (Ne 9+ <--<< this i know. E = 13.6 eV, this i also know). Where in the electromagnetic radiation spectrum does this photon lie?

wtf? You're doing this shit at college? We did that as an A-Level (age 17) school exam question. Dumbing down of education to make it more 'accessible' ftw.
