Let aand bbe two constant vectors. Show that

(a.r)(b.r)sinθdθdϕ=4π3(a.b)

(the integration is over the usual range:0<θ<π,0<ϕ<2π). Use this result to demonstrate that

(3Sp.rSe.r-Sp.Ser3)=0

For states with I=0. Hint:r=sinθcosϕi+sinθsinϕΦ+cosθk.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of vectors.

Geometrical entities with magnitude and direction are known as vectors. A vector is represented as a line with an arrow pointing in the direction of the vector, and the length of the line denotes the vector's magnitude. As a result, vectors are represented by arrows and have two points: a beginning point and a terminal point.

Step2: Structural isomers of carboxylic acids.

To prove following relation:

a.rb.rsinϑdϑdφ=4π3a.b

It is known that:

a.r=axsinϑcosφ+aysinϑsinφ+azcosϑI=axsinϑcosφ+aysinϑsinφ+azcosϑbxsinϑcosφ+bysinϑsinφ+bzcosϑsinϑdϑdφ02πsinφdφ=02πcosφdφ=02πsinφcosφdφ=0I=axbxsin2ϑcos2φ+aybysin2ϑsin2φ+azbzcos2ϑsinϑdϑdφ

But

=02πcos2φdφ=π,

02πdφ=2πI=0ππaxbx+aybysin2ϑ+2πazbzcos2ϑsinϑdϑ

But

So,

Question: The most prominent feature of the hydrogen spectrum in the visible region is the red Balmer line, coming from the transition n = 3to n = 2. First of all, determine the wavelength and frequency of this line according to the Bohr Theory. Fine structure splits this line into several closely spaced lines; the question is: How many, and what is their spacing? Hint: First determine how many sublevels the n = 2level splits into, and find Efs1for each of these, in eV. Then do the same for n = 3. Draw an energy level diagram showing all possible transitions from n = 3to n = 2. The energy released (in the form of a photon) is role="math" localid="1658311193797" (E3-E2)+E, the first part being common to all of them, and the E(due to fine structure) varying from one transition to the next. Find E(in eV) for each transition. Finally, convert to photon frequency, and determine the spacing between adjacent spectral lines (in Hz- -not the frequency interval between each line and the unperturbed line (which is, of course, unobservable), but the frequency interval between each line and the next one. Your final answer should take the form: "The red Balmer line splits into (???)lines. In order of increasing frequency, they come from the transitionsto (1) j =(???),toj =(???) ,(2) j =(???) to j =(???)……. The frequency spacing between line (1)and line (2)is (???) Hz, the spacing between line (2)and (3) line (???) Hzis……..”

Analyze the Zeeman effect for the n=3states of hydrogen, in the weak, strong, and intermediate field regimes. Construct a table of energies (analogous to Table 6.2), plot them as functions of the external field (as in Figure 6.12), and check that the intermediate-field results reduce properly in the two limiting cases.

Question: Use the virial theorem (Problem 4.40) to prove Equation 6.55.

Two identical spin-zero bosons are placed in an infinite square well (Equation 2.19). They interact weakly with one another, via the potential

V(x1,x2)=-aV0δ(x1-x2). (2.19).

(where V0is a constant with the dimensions of energy, and a is the width of the well).

(a)First, ignoring the interaction between the particles, find the ground state and the first excited state—both the wave functions and the associated energies.

(b) Use first-order perturbation theory to estimate the effect of the particle– particle interaction on the energies of the ground state and the first excited state.

Calculate the wavelength, in centimeters, of the photon emitted under a hyperfine transition in the ground state (n=1) of deuterium. Deuterium is "heavy" hydrogen, with an extra neutron in the nucleus; the proton and neutron bind together to form a deuteron, with spin 1 and magnetic moment

μdl=gde2mdSd

he deuteron g-factor is 1.71.
