Step by step solution

01

Definition of potential energy

The output of the movement of the electrons in a molecule defines the potential energy. The energy that holds the atom in the covalent bond is known as potential energy.

02

(a) Construction of ψ(r,t)

Consider a hydrogen atom which starts out at t=0 in the following linear combination of the stationary states n=2.l=1,m=1 and n=2,l=1,m=-1 that is expressed as follows,

r,0=12211+21-1 鈥(颈)

Write the required expressions from problem 4.11.

211=-18ra5/2e-r/2asine颈蠒21-1=-18ra5/2e-r/2asine-颈蠒

Constructr,t that is wavefunction at t, multiply equation (i) by e-iE2t/h.

r,t=12211+21-1eiE2t/h

Write the expression for the energy of both data-custom-editor="chemistry" 211and data-custom-editor="chemistry" 21-1which is same.

E2=E1n2=E14=-h28ma2

Adddata-custom-editor="chemistry" 211 and data-custom-editor="chemistry" 21-1.

data-custom-editor="chemistry" 211+21-1=1蟺补18a2re-r/2asine颈蠒-e-颈蠒

Usedata-custom-editor="chemistry" e颈蠒-e-颈蠒=2isin in the above expression.

211+21-1=-i蟺补4a2re-r/2asinsin()

Thus, the value of data-custom-editor="chemistry" r,tis -i2蟺补4a2re-r/2sinsine-iE2t/h.

03

(b) Determination of the expectation value of potential energy (V)

Write the expression for the expected value of the potential energy.

V=2Vd3r

Write the value of the potential energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom.

V=-e4蟺蔚01r

Substitute the above value in the expression of expected value of the potential energy.

data-custom-editor="chemistry" V=2-e4蟺蔚01rd3r

From part (a) determine the modulus square of the wave function.

2=12蟺补16a4r2e-r/asin2sin2

Substitute the above value in the expression of expected value of the potential energy.

2=12蟺补16a4-e24蟺蔚0r2e-r/asin2sin21rr2sin诲谤诲胃诲蠒=132蟺补5-h2ma20r2e-r/adr0sin3d02sin2d=h232蟺尘补63!a443=h24ma2

Simplify the above expression.

V=12E1=12-13.6eV=-6.8eV

Thus, the expectation value of the potential energy is -6.8eV.

(a) Starting with the canonical commutation relations for position and momentum (Equation 4.10), work out the following commutators:

[LZ,X]=ihy,[LZ,y]=-ihx,[LZ,Z]=0[LZ,px]=ihpy,[LZ,py]=-ihpx,[LZ,pz]=0

(b) Use these results to obtain [LZ,LX]=ihLydirectly from Equation 4.96.

(c) Evaluate the commutators [Lz,r2]and[Lz,p2](where, of course, r2=x2+y2+z2andp2=px2+py2+pz2)

(d) Show that the Hamiltonian H=(p2/2m)+Vcommutes with all three components of L, provided that V depends only on r . (Thus H,L2,andLZand are mutually compatible observables.)

[Refer to Problem 4.59 for background.] In classical electrodynamics the potentials Aandare not uniquely determined; 47 the physical quantities are the fields, E and B.

(a) Show that the potentials

(b) In quantum mechanics the potentials play a more direct role, and it is of interest to know whether the theory remains gauge invariant. Show that

'eiq/

satisfies the Schr枚dinger equation (4.205) with the gauge-transformed potentials'andA', Since'differs fromonly by a phase factor, it represents the same physical state, 48and the theory is gauge invariant (see Section 10.2.3for further discussion).

Two particles of mass mare attached to the ends of a massless rigid rod of length a. The system is free to rotate in three dimensions about the center (but the center point itself is fixed).

(a) Show that the allowed energies of this rigid rotor are

En=h2n(n+1)ma2, for n=0,1,2,...

Hint: First express the (classical) energy in terms of the total angular momentum.

(b) What are the normalized Eigen functions for this system? What is the degeneracy of thenthenergy level?

(a) Prove that for a particle in a potential V(r)the rate of change of the expectation value of the orbital angular momentum L is equal to the expectation value of the torque:

ddt<L>=<N>

Where,

N=r(VV)

(This is the rotational analog to Ehrenfest's theorem.)

(b) Show that d<L>/dt=0for any spherically symmetric potential. (This is one form of the quantum statement of conservation of angular momentum.)
