Not All Integer But Half Has A Place

Continuing from the previous post "Radius Of An Electron", the electron energy ψ takes discrete up values around the electron.  An underlying assumption was that n=1,2,3,4.., that n takes up increasing consecutive values with distance x from the electron's center.

This may not be true.   The table of data from the previous post shows that if n=2 for all values of λ


n λ (nm) nλ2π n2ln(2πnλ×109) λ2π (nm)
2 121.567 38.697 68.270 19.349
2 102.573 32.651 68.950 16.325449626
2 97.254 30.958 69.163 15.478927264
2 94.974 30.232 69.257 15.1160592074
2 93.780 29.852 69.308 14.9260066847
2 93.075 29.628 69.338 14.8137991405
2 92.623 29.484 69.358 14.7418271526
2 92.315 29.386 69.371 14.6928378163
2 92.097 29.316 69.380 14.6581250995
2 91.935 29.265 69.387 14.6323571542
2 91.935 29.265 69.387 14.6323253223
2 91.813 29.226 69.393 14.6128441827

n2ln(2πnλ×109) varies only in the second last decimal place. As shown in the last column, λ2π is almost a constant. This suggests that we have a fixed perimeter of 2πx onto which different λs are packed.

 As such,

 2πx=nλ=ncf

 f=nc2πx when x=aψ

 f=nc2πaψ

Obviously f=0 and n=0 is a valid data point,


n f
0 0
1 2466067.5
2 2922728.6
2 3082568.8
2 3156567.3
2 3196759.8
2 3220973.8
2 3236699.1
2 3247491.0
2 3260914.0
2 3260921.1
2 3265268.4

A plot with the regression line is shown below.


The line above is defined by two points and one theoretical point.  Given the gradient of the line,

c2πaψ=1438393.5

aψ=2997924582π×1438393.5=33.2 nm

From which we have no choice but to admit the existence of a half wave, where n=12

 x=12λ2π

And that the lowest frequency point is due to this standing wave half a wave length, and the next series of points are due to the standing wave of one wave length.  From this,

aψ12=2997924582π×2876787.0=16.6 nm

With this as a guide we can repeated the analysis in the post "Radius Of An Electron" for better results.
