Shouldn’t that be 2T=-V, V is negative, and T is positive.. Sorry, bad characters..

Shouldn’t that be 2T=-V, V is negative, and T is positive..

Kinetic energy is definitely positive. Equation (3) actually refers to the total energy and this post has been updated accordingly. Thanks for pointing this out! Gekko, definitely you’re right.

It is negative, which doesn't to make sense for a kinetic energy... In Eq (3), isn’t this the *total* energy (kinetic + potential) of an electron in the n-th energy level?
