Consider the rotational energy of a single helium atom. Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed throughout a sphere of radius equal to the Bohr radius and that the nucleus is a uniform solid sphere of radius 1.9 × 10-15 m. (a) Estimate the energy of the first (nonzero) rotational energy level in helium. (b) Is this state likely to be observed? Why or why not?
