Obtain equation 5.76 by induction. The combinatorial question is this: How many different ways you can put N identical balls into d baskets (never mind the subscriptfor this problem). You could stick all of them into the third basket, or all but one in the second basket and one in the fifth, or two in the first and three in the third and all the rest in the seventh, etc. Work it out explicitly for the casesN=1,N=2,N=3andN=4; by that stage you should be able to deduce the general formula.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The derived expression isf(N,d)=d+N-1!N!(d-1)!

Step by step solution

01

Define the Schrodinger equation

  • A differential equation that uses the wave-like characteristics of particles in a field to describe matter in terms of quantum mechanics. The probability density of a particle in space and time is relevant to the response.
  • The time-dependent Schr枚dinger equation is represented as

ihddt|(t)>=H^|(t)>

02

Analyze the equation

For N=1, balls can be put any of d baskets

So, there are d ways.

For N=2

1) We can put two balls in any of d baskets waysdways

2) We can put one ball in one of baskets, and the other in one of the remaining d-1

Because balls are identical, we must divide by2d(d-1)2

Total number:

d+d(d-1)2=d(d+1)2ways

1) We can put three balls in one ofbasketsd.

2) We can put one in one basket, and two in one of remaining d-1d(d-1)

3) We can put one ball in one of baskets, second in one of the remaining d-1, and third in one of remaining d-2.

Because balls are identical, we must divide by 3!d(d-1)(d+2)3!

Total number:

d+d(d-1)+d(d-1)(d-2)6=d2+d(d2-3d+2)6=d(d+1)(d+2)6

For N=4

1) We can put four balls in one of d baskets d.

2) We can put one in one basket, and three in one of remainingd-1d(d-1)

3) We can put two balls in one basket, and two in one of the remainingd-1d(d-1)2

4) We can put two balls in one basket, one in one of the remainingd-1, and last one in one of the remainingd-2d(d-1)(d-2)2

5) All four balls are in different baskets.d(d-1)(d-2)(d-3)4!

Total number of balls

d+d(d-1)2+d(d-1)(d-2)6+d(d-1)(d-2)(d-3)24=d(d+1)(d+2)(d+3)24=d2+d(d-1)22+d(d-1)(d-2)(d-3)24=d2424d+12(d-1)2+(d-1)(d-2)(d-3)=d2412d2+12+d3-5d2+6d-d2+5d-6=d24(d3+6d2+11d+6)=d(d+1)(d+2)(d+3)24 So, for number of balls in dthebasket is

localid="1658227901414" f(N,d)=d(d+1)(d+2)+..............(d+N-1)N!f(N,d)=(d+N-1)!N!(d-1)!f(N,d)=(d+N)!(n+1)!(d-1)!

03

Deriving the equation using induction

By using induction

N=0f(0,d)=1

We assume that following expression is valid:f(N,d)=(d+N-1)!N!(d-1)!.

We check forN+1:

d+NN+1=d+N-1N+d+N-1N+1=(d+N-1)!N!(d-1)!+(d+N-1)!(N+1)!(d-2)=(d+N-1)!N!(d-1)(d-2)!+(d+N-1)!(N+1)N!(d-2)!=(d+N-1)!N!(d-2)!1d-1+1N+1=(d+N-1)!N!(d-2)!N+d(d+1)(N+1)=(d+N)!(N+1)!(d-1)!

Therefore the derived expression is(N,d)=(d+N-1)!N!(d-1)! .

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) Write down the Hamiltonian for two noninteracting identical particles in the infinite square well. Verify that the fermion ground state given in Example 5.1 is an eigenfunction of H, with the appropriate eigenvalue.

(b) Find the next two excited states (beyond the ones in Example 5.1) - wave functions and energies - for each of the three cases (distinguishable, identical bosons, identical fermions).

In view ofProblem 5.1, we can correct for the motion of the nucleus in hydrogen by simply replacing the electron mass with the reduced mass.

(a) Find (to two significant digits) the percent error in the binding energy of hydrogen (Equation 4.77) introduced by our use of m instead of 渭.

E1=-m2h2e24'2=-13.6eV(4.77).

(b) Find the separation in wavelength between the red Balmer lines n=3n=2for hydrogen and deuterium (whose nucleus contains a neutron as well as the proton).

(c) Find the binding energy of positronium (in which the proton is replaced by a positron鈥攑ositrons have the same mass as electrons, but opposite charge).

(d) Suppose you wanted to confirm the existence of muonic hydrogen, in which the electron is replaced by a muon (same charge, but 206.77 times heavier). Where (i.e. at what wavelength) would you look for the 鈥淟yman-伪鈥 line n=2n=1?.

a) Hund鈥檚 first rule says that, consistent with the Pauli principle, the state with the highest total spin (S) will have the lowest energy. What would this predict in the case of the excited states of helium?

(b) Hund鈥檚 second rule says that, for a given spin, the state with the highest total orbital angular momentum (L) , consistent with overall antisymmetrization, will have the lowest energy. Why doesn鈥檛 carbon haveL=2? Note that the 鈥渢op of the ladder鈥(ML=L)is symmetric.

(c) Hund鈥檚 third rule says that if a subshell(n,l)is no more than half filled,
then the lowest energy level hasJ=lL-SI; if it is more than half filled, thenJ=L+Shas the lowest energy. Use this to resolve the boron ambiguity inProblem 5.12(b).

(d) Use Hund鈥檚 rules, together with the fact that a symmetric spin state must go with an antisymmetric position state (and vice versa) to resolve the carbon and nitrogen ambiguities in Problem 5.12(b). Hint: Always go to the 鈥渢op of the ladder鈥 to figure out the symmetry of a state.

Calculate the Fermi energy for noninteracting electrons in a two-dimensional infinite square well. Let 蟽 be the number of free electrons per unit area.

(a) Suppose you put both electrons in a helium atom into the n=2state;

what would the energy of the emitted electron be?

(b) Describe (quantitatively) the spectrum of the helium ion,He+.
