Get started for free(a) A particle of spin1and a particle of spin 2 are at rest in a configuration such that the total spin is 3, and its z component is . If you measured the z component of the angular momentum of the spin-2particle, what values might you get, and what is the probability of each one?
(b) An electron with spin down is in the stateof the hydrogen atom. If you could measure the total angular momentum squared of the electron alone (not including the proton spin), what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
The electron in a hydrogen atom occupies the combined spin and position state
(a) If you measured the orbital angular momentum squared , what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
(b) Same for the component of orbital angular momentum .
(c) Same for the spin angular momentum squared .
(d) Same for the component of spin angular momentum .
Let be the total angular momentum.
(e) If you measureddata-custom-editor="chemistry" , what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
(f) Same for .
(g) If you measured the position of the particle, what is the probability density for finding it at , , ?
(h) If you measured both the component of the spin and the distance from the origin (note that these are compatible observables), what is the probability density for finding the particle with spin up and at radius ?
Consider the observablesand .
(a) Construct the uncertainty principle for
(b) Evaluate in the hydrogen state .
(c) What can you conclude aboutin this state?
(a) Construct the spatial wave function for hydrogen in the state Express your answer as a function of (the Bohr radius) only—no other variables (etc.) or functions (etc.), or constants (etc.), or derivatives, allowed (π is okay, and e, and 2, etc.).
(b) Check that this wave function is properly normalized, by carrying out the appropriate integrals over,
(c) Find the expectation value of in this state. For what range of s (positive and negative) is the result finite?
Coincident spectral lines. According to the Rydberg formula (Equation 4.93) the wavelength of a line in the hydrogen spectrum is determined by the principal quantum numbers of the initial and final states. Find two distinct pairs that yield the same . For example,role="math" localid="1656311200820" andwill do it, but you're not allowed to use those!
