Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)In terms of Bohr radius, we getr=32a andr2=3a2

(b)An electro in the ground state of hydrogen isx=0 andx2=a2

(c)The statex2=12a2

Step by step solution

01

Definition of radial wave function

The probability of finding an electron in some finite volume element around a point at a distance of r from the nucleus is given by the radial wave function R(r), which is simply the value of the wave function at some radius r.

02

Finding:r,r2 for an electron in the ground state of hydrogen

(a)

We need to findrandr2for an electron in the ground state of hydrogen, the wave function of the ground state is:

100=1蟺补3e-r/a

The expectation value of rnis therefore:

rn=1a300/202rne-2r/a(r2sin()drdd)=4/(a3)0rn+2e-2r/adr

Letrole="math" localid="1658381554869" x=2/a, so dx=2/adr, thus:

rn=4a30a2n+3xn+2e-xdx

But,

0xn+2e-xdx=(n+3)=(n+2)!

Thus,

rn=4a3a2n+3(n+2)!

For,r,n=1thus:

r=4a3a243!r=32a

For,r2,n=2thus:

r2=434!a25r2=3a2

03

Find (x) and (x2)  for an electron in the ground state of hydrogen.

(b)

Since the ground state is symmetric, we can work out the means for the rectangular coordinates separately without doing any more integrals (note that r2=x2+y2+z2):x=0

And

x2=13r2=a2x2x2=a2

(c)

From problem 4.11 we have:

211=R21Y11=-1蟺补18a2re-r/2asin()ei

Thus,

x2=1蟺补18a22=r2e-r/asin2x2r2sindrdd

Note that x=rsin()cos(), sox2=r2sin2cos2..

So:

role="math" localid="1658384023991" x2=1蟺补18a22r2e-r/asin2r2sin2cos2r2sindrddx2=164蟺补50r6e-r/adr0cos2dx2=164蟺补56!a722.41.3.512.2x2=12a2

Hence the statex2=12a2

(a) For a functionf()that can be expanded in a Taylor series, show that f(+)=eiLz/f() (where is an arbitrary angle). For this reason, Lz/ is called the generator of rotations about the Z-axis. Hint: Use Equation 4.129 , and refer Problem 3.39.More generally, Ln^/ is the generator of rotations about the direction n^, in the sense that exp(iLn^/)effects a rotation through angle (in the right-hand sense) about the axis n^ . In the case of spin, the generator of rotations is Sn^/. In particular, for spin 1/2 '=ei(n^)/2tells us how spinors rotate.
