(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+.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The energy of the emitted electron is 2E1-4E1=-2E1=27.2eV

(b)Helium has one electron and it’s a hydrogenise ion with z=2 so the spectrum

is1/λ=4R(1/nf2-1/ni2)

Step by step solution

01

(a) The energy of the emitted electron

The energy of each electron isE=Z2E1/n2=4E1/4=E1=E1=-13.6eV,

so the total initial energy is2×-13.6eV=-27.2eV.

One electron drops to the ground state Z2E1/1=4E1, so the other is left

with 2E1-4E1=-2E1=27.2eV.

02

(b) The spectrum of the helium ion

(b) He+has one electron; it’s a hydrogenise ion with Z = 2, so the spectrum

is 1/λ=4R1/nf2-1/ni2, where R is the hydrogen Rydberg constant, and ni,nfare the

initial and final quantum numbers (1, 2, 3, . . . ).

Suppose you could find a solutionψ(r1,r2,...,rz)to the Schrödinger equation (Equation 5.25), for the Hamiltonian in Equation 5.24. Describe how you would construct from it a completely symmetric function, and a completely anti symmetric function, which also satisfy the Schrödinger equation, with the same energy.

Thebulk modulus of a substance is the ratio of a small decrease in pressure to the resulting fractional increase in volume:

B=-VdPdV.

Show thatB=(5/3)P, in the free electron gas model, and use your result in Problem 5.16(d) to estimate the bulk modulus of copper. Comment: The observed value is 13.4×1010N/m2, but don’t expect perfect agreement—after all, we’re neglecting all electron–nucleus and electron–electron forces! Actually, it is rather surprising that this calculation comes as close as it does.

Check the equations 5.74, 5.75, and 5.77 for the example in section 5.4.1

(a) Find the chemical potential and the total energy for distinguishable particles in the three dimensional harmonic oscillator potential (Problem 4.38). Hint: The sums in Equations5.785.78and5.795.79can be evaluated exactly, in this case−−no need to use an integral approximation, as we did for the infinite square well. Note that by differentiating the geometric series,

11-x=∑n=0∞xn

You can get

ddx(x1-x)=∑n=1∞(n+1)xn

and similar results for higher derivatives.
