Key Equations

$$V(r) = -\frac{e^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r} = -\frac{ke^2}{r}$$
$$E_n = -\frac{me^4}{2(4\pi\epsilon_0)^2\hbar^2 n^2} = -\frac{13.6 \text{ eV}}{n^2}$$
$$g_n = \sum_{\ell=0}^{n-1}(2\ell+1) = n^2$$
$$\psi_{200} = \frac{1}{4\sqrt{2\pi a_0^3}}\left(2-\frac{r}{a_0}\right)e^{-r/(2a_0)}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
