Critical cage radii for a confined hydrogen atom

A hydrogen atom confined in a spherical box with impenetrable surface is investigated. The critical cage radius , at which a state is no longer bound is calculated for levels up to and including n = 10. Regularities present in these radii are pointed out. An empirical equation is proposed between and n for a fixed . The total number of bound states is also studied as a function of .
