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

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

But

So,

Question: In the text I asserted that the first-order corrections to an n-fold degenerate energy are the eigen values of the Wmatrix, and I justified this claim as the "natural" generalization of the case n = 2.

Prove it, by reproducing the steps in Section 6.2.1, starting with

ψ0=j=1nαjψj0

(generalizing Equation 6.17), and ending by showing that the analog to Equation6.22 can be interpreted as the eigen value equation for the matrix W.

(a) Find the second-order correction to the energies(En2)for the potential in Problem 6.1. Comment: You can sum the series explicitly, obtaining -for odd n.

(b) Calculate the second-order correction to the ground state energy(E02)for the potential in Problem 6.2. Check that your result is consistent with the exact solution.

Find the (lowest order) relativistic correction to the energy levels of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Hint: Use the technique in Example 2.5 .

Question: Consider a quantum system with just three linearly independent states. Suppose the Hamiltonian, in matrix form, is

H=V0(1-o˙0000o˙0o˙2)

WhereV0is a constant, ando˙is some small number(1).

(a) Write down the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the unperturbed Hamiltonian(o˙=0).

(b) Solve for the exact eigen values of H. Expand each of them as a power series ino˙, up to second order.

(c) Use first- and second-order non degenerate perturbation theory to find the approximate eigen value for the state that grows out of the non-degenerate eigenvector ofH0. Compare the exact result, from (a).

(d) Use degenerate perturbation theory to find the first-order correction to the two initially degenerate eigen values. Compare the exact results.

Estimate the correction to the ground state energy of hydrogen due to the finite size of the nucleus. Treat the proton as a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius b, so the potential energy of an electron inside the shell is constant:-e2/(4πϵ0b);this isn't very realistic, but it is the simplest model, and it will give us the right order of magnitude. Expand your result in powers of the small parameter, (b / a) whereis the Bohr radius, and keep only the leading term, so your final answer takes the form ΔEE=A(b/a)n. Your business is to determine the constant Aand the power n. Finally, put in b10-15m(roughly the radius of the proton) and work out the actual number. How does it compare with fine structure and hyperfine structure?
