Question

This number results from applying a quantum state’s ket to its corresponding bra. QED is an abelian gauge theory that is described by a unitary group of this degree. Vector bosons like gluons and photons must have spins equal to this number. (10[1]-5[1])To obey the Born rule, the integral of the product of the wavefunction (10[1])and its complex conjugate must equal (10[1])this number. (-5[1])The Lyman series corresponds to setting n_1 (“n-sub-one”) equal to this number in the Rydberg formula, which describes an atom with this many protons. (10[1])This number is the atomic number of the only element with analytic solutions. (10[2])For 10 points, give this number of protons found in a hydrogen (10[1])atom. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
