10. Using Bohr’s postulates for hydrogen
atom, show that the total energy (E) of
the electron in the stationary states can
be expressed as the sum of kinetic
energy (K) and potential energy (U),
where K = ½ U. Hence deduce the
expression for the total energy in the nth
energy level of hydrogen atom.
