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.
Use equations 4.27 4.28 and 4.32 to construct Check that they are normalized and orthogonal
What is the most probable value of r, in the ground state of hydrogen? (The answer is not zero!) Hint: First you must figure out the probability that the electron would be found between r and r + dr.
The electron in a hydrogen atom occupies the combined spin and position state
(a) If you measured the orbital angular momentum squared , what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
(b) Same for the component of orbital angular momentum .
(c) Same for the spin angular momentum squared .
(d) Same for the component of spin angular momentum .
Let be the total angular momentum.
(e) If you measureddata-custom-editor="chemistry" , what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
(f) Same for .
(g) If you measured the position of the particle, what is the probability density for finding it at , , ?
(h) If you measured both the component of the spin and the distance from the origin (note that these are compatible observables), what is the probability density for finding the particle with spin up and at radius ?
(a) A particle of spin1and a particle of spin 2 are at rest in a configuration such that the total spin is 3, and its z component is . If you measured the z component of the angular momentum of the spin-2particle, what values might you get, and what is the probability of each one?
(b) An electron with spin down is in the stateof the hydrogen atom. If you could measure the total angular momentum squared of the electron alone (not including the proton spin), what values might you get, and what is the probability of each?
