All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for free(a) Use the recursion formula (Equation 4.76) to confirm that when the radial wave function takes the form
and determine the normalization constant by direct integration.
(b) Calculate 200a and for states of the form
(c) Show that the "uncertainty" in isfor such states. Note that the fractional spread in decreases, with increasing (in this sense the system "begins to look classical," with identifiable circular "orbits," for large ). Sketch the radial wave functions for several values of, to illustrate this point.
A hydrogen atom starts out in the following linear combination of the stationary states n=2, l=1, m=1 and n=2, l=1, m=-1.
(a) ConstructSimplify it as much as you can.
(b) Find the expectation value of the potential energy,. (Does it depend on t?) Give both the formula and the actual number, in electron volts.
(a) Apply tolocalid="1656131461017" (Equation), and confirm that you getlocalid="1656131442455" .
(b) Applyto(Equation), and confirm that you get zero.
(c) Show thatlocalid="1656131424007" andlocalid="1656131406083" (Equation) are eigenstates of, with the appropriate eigenvalue
(a) Construct the wave function for hydrogen in the state . Express your answer as a function of the spherical coordinates .
(b) Find the expectation value of role="math" localid="1658391074946" in this state. (As always, look up any nontrivial integrals.)
(c) If you could somehow measure the observable on an atom in this state, what value (or values) could you get, and what is the probability of each?
(a)Derive Equation 4.131 from Equation 4.130. Hint: Use a test function; otherwise you're likely to drop some terms.
(b)Derive Equation 4.132 from Equations 4.129 and 4.131 .Hint : Use Equation 4.112.
