Chapter 5: Q33P (page 246)

Suppose you have three particles, and three distinct one-particle state唯aX,唯bX,and唯cxare available. How many different three-particle states can be constructed (a) if they are distinguishable particles, (b) if they are identical bosons, (c) if they are identical fermions? (The particles need not be in different states -唯aX1,唯aX2唯ax3would be one possibility, if the particles are distinguishable.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)27

(b)10

(c)1

Step by step solution

01

(a)if they are distinguishable

Each particle has 3 possible states: 3 脳 3 脳 3 = 27.

02

(b) if they are identical bosons

All in same state: aaa, bbb, ccc鈬�3.

2 in one state: aab, aac, bba, bbc, cca, ccb鈬�6 (each symmetrized).

3 different states: abc (symmetrized)鈬�1.

Total: 10.

If they are identical fermions

Only abc (antisymmetrized) 鉄� 1.

Suppose you had three (noninteracting) particles, in thermal equilibrium in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential, with a total energyE=92h蝇 .

(a) If they are distinguishable particles (but all with the same mass), what are the possible occupation-number configurations, and how many distinct (threeparticle) states are there for each one? What is the most probable configuration? If you picked a particle at random and measured its energy, what values might you get, and what is the probability of each one? What is the most probable energy?

(b) Do the same for the case of identical fermions (ignoring spin, as we did in Section 5.4.1).

(c) Do the same for the case of identical bosons (ignoring spin).

Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the rectangle of largest area, with sides parallel to the axes that can be inscribed in the ellipse(xa)2+(yb)2=1. What is the maximum area?

Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes,CI35and CI37. Show that

the vibrational spectrum of HCIshould consist of closely spaced doublets,

with a splitting given by 鈭�v=7.51脳10-4v, where v is the frequency of the

emitted photon. Hint: Think of it as a harmonic oscillator, with 蝇=k/渭, where

渭is the reduced mass (Equation 5.8 ) and k is presumably the same for both isotopes.
