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 for 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" , the first part being common to all of them, and the (due to fine structure) varying from one transition to the next. Find (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 states 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
(2.19).
(where is 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
he deuteron g-factor is 1.71.
