2.18 In a hydrogen atom, the electron and proton are bound at a distance of about 0.53 :
(c) What are the answers to (a) and (b) above if the zero of potential energy is taken at 1.06 separation?
When potential energy is zero at 1.06 away,
The potential energy of the system =potential energy at -potential energy at d
Hence Potential energy, in this case, would be -13.6eV
