A hydrogen atom starts out in the following linear combination of the stationary states n=2, l=1, m=1 and n=2, l=1, m=-1.
(a) ConstructSimplify it as much as you can.
(b) Find the expectation value of the potential energy,. (Does it depend on t?) Give both the formula and the actual number, in electron volts.
[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
(whereis an arbitrary real function of position and time). yield the same fields asand A. Equation 4.210 is called a gauge transformation, and the theory is said to be gauge invariant.
(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
satisfies the Schr枚dinger equation (4.205) with the gauge-transformed potentialsand, Sincediffers fromonly by a phase factor, it represents the same physical state, 48and the theory is gauge invariant (see Section 10.2.3for further discussion).
The (time-independent) momentum space wave function in three dimensions is defined by the natural generalization of Equation 3.54:
(a)Find the momentum space wave function for the ground state of hydrogen (Equation 4.80). Hint: Use spherical coordinates, setting the polar axis along the direction of p. Do the 胃 integral first. Answer:
(b) Check that is normalized.
(c) Use to calculate , in the ground state of hydrogen.
(d) What is the expectation value of the kinetic energy in this state? Express your answer as a multiple of , and check that it is consistent with the virial theorem (Equation 4.218).
