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 ∆v=7.51×10-4v, where v is the frequency of the

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

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

It will identified a difference in HCL's vibrational spectrum using a harmonic oscillator

model.

Show the vibrational spectrum of HCL consist of closely spaced doublets, with a

splitting ∆v=7.51×10-4v,

Step by step solution

01

Definition of harmonic oscillator

  • A model for molecular vibration is the simple harmonic oscillator. It denotes the relative motion of atoms in a diatomic molecule or
  • The simultaneous motion of atoms in a polyatomic molecule along a vibrational "normal mode."
02

Determine the photon energy in a vibrational   state

A photon's energy in a vibrational state n is:

EY=hÓ¬12+n

The amount of energy required for a photon to go from its initial state nito its final

state nfis:

EY=Ef=Ei-hӬ12+nf-hӬ12+ni-∆nhӬ∆n-nf-ni

The photon's frequency is:

v=Eyh=∆nӬ2π

For oscillation frequency, we can use the harmonic oscillator formula:

Ӭ=Kμv=∆n2πKμv=∆nK2πμ-1/2

03

Determine the reduced mass

Take absolute value (because frequency must be positive) with respect to reduced

mass μ:

∆v=∆nK2π×-12μ3/2∆μ=∆μ2μ∆nK2πμ-1/2=∆μ2μvμ=mhmCImH+mCI=11mCI+1mLI∆μ=-11mCI+1mμ±õ=μmCI2∆mCI

04

Determine the value of∆v

For mCI=36, it use the average value. It goes like this:

∆v=v2μ∆mCImCI2=v2∆mCI/mC1+mCmU∆mCImCI=236-118=mCImH-361∆v=121/181+36v=v36×37∆v=7.51×10-4v

(a)Use Equation5.113 to determine the energy density in the wavelength rangedλ. Hint: setÒÏ(Ó¬)dÓ¬=ÒÏ-(λ)»åλ, and solve forÒÏ(λ)-

(b)Derive the Wien displacement law for the wavelength at which the blackbody energy density is a maximum
λmax=2.90×10-3mKT

You'll need to solve the transcendental equation(5×x)=5e-x, using a calculator (or a computer); get the numerical answer accurate to three significant digits.

Imagine two non interacting particles, each of mass , in the one dimensional harmonic oscillator potential (Equation 2.43). If one is in the ground state, and the other is in the first excited state, calculate ⟨(x1-x2)2⟩assuming
(a) they are distinguishable particles, (b) they are identical bosons, and (c) they are identical fermions. Ignore spin (if this bothers you, just assume they are both in the same spin state.)

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.

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

(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).

(a) Calculate<1/r1-r2>for the stateψ0(Equation 5.30). Hint: Dod3r2integral

first, using spherical coordinates, and setting the polar axis alongr1, so

that

ψ0r1,r2=ψ100r1ψ100r2=8Ï€²¹3e-2r1+r2/a(5.30).

r1-r2=r12+r22-2r1r2³¦´Ç²õθ2.

Theθ2integral is easy, but be careful to take the positive root. You’ll have to

break ther2integral into two pieces, one ranging from 0 tor1,the other fromr1to∞

Answer: 5/4a.

(b) Use your result in (a) to estimate the electron interaction energy in the ground state of helium. Express your answer in electron volts, and add it toE0(Equation 5.31) to get a corrected estimate of the ground state energy. Compare the experimental value. (Of course, we’re still working with an approximate wave function, so don’t expect perfect agreement.)

E0=8-13.6eV=-109eV(5.31).
