In quantum mechanics, the energy of the hydrogen atom depends on which quantum number alone?
APrincipal number n
BOrbital number l
CMagnetic number m
DSpin number s
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Principal number n
For a pure Coulomb potential the energy levels depend only on the principal quantum number n.
