(b) Equation 4.132 is derived.

Step by step solution

01

Representation of some equations

Write equation 4.130.

L±=±he±¾±Ï•(∂∂θ±icotθ∂∂ϕ)

Write equation 4.129.

Lz=hi∂∂ϕ

(a) Derivation of equation 4.131

Solve to derive equation 4.131

L+L-f=-h2e¾±Ï†âˆ‚∂θ+icotθ∂∂ϕe-¾±Ï†âˆ‚f∂θ-icotθ∂f∂ϕ=-h2e¾±Ï†e¾±Ï†âˆ‚2f∂θ2+icsc2θ∂f∂ϕ-icotθ∂2∆ϕ∂θ+icotθ-e-¾±Ï†âˆ‚f∂θ+e-¾±Ï†âˆ‚2f∂θ∂ϕ-icotθ∂2f∂ϕ2=-h2e¾±Ï†e¾±Ï†âˆ‚2f∂θ2+ie-¾±Ï†csc2θ∂f∂ϕ-ie-¾±Ï†cotθ∂2∂∂∂ϕ+e¾±Ï†³¦´Ç³Ùθ∂f∂θ-ie-¾±Ï†cot2θ∂f∂ϕ+ie-¾±Ï†cotθ∂2f∂ϕ∂θ+e¾±Ï†cot2θ∂2f∂ϕ2=-h2∂2∂θ2+icsc2θ-cot2θ∂∂ϕ+³¦´Ç³Ùθ∂∂θ+cot2θ∂2∂ϕ2fL+L-=-h2∂2∂θ2+i∂∂ϕ+³¦´Ç³Ùθ∂∂θ+cot2θ∂2∂ϕ2

Thus, equation 4.131 is derived.

(b) Derivation of equation 4.132

Solve to derive equation 4.132.

L2=-h2∂2∂θ2-ih2∂∂ϕ-h2cot2θ∂2∂ϕ2-h2∂2∂ϕ2+ih2∂∂ϕ=-h2∂2∂θ2+cotθ∂∂θ+1sin2θ∂2∂ϕ2=-h21sinθ∂∂θsinθ∂∂θ+1sin2θ∂2∂ϕ2=-h21sinθ∂∂θsinθ∂∂θ+1sin2θ∂2∂ϕ2

Thus, equation 4.132 is derived.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A hydrogenic atom consists of a single electron orbiting a nucleus with Z protons. (Z=1 would be hydrogen itself,Z=2is ionized helium ,Z=3is doubly ionized lithium, and so on.) Determine the Bohr energies En(Z), the binding energyE1(Z), the Bohr radiusa(Z), and the Rydberg constant R(Z)for a hydrogenic atom. (Express your answers as appropriate multiples of the hydrogen values.) Where in the electromagnetic spectrum would the Lyman series fall, for Z=2and Z=3? Hint: There’s nothing much to calculate here— in the potential (Equation 4.52) Ze2, so all you have to do is make the same substitution in all the final results.

V(r)=-e24πo0˙1r (4.52).

Find the matrix representingSxfor a particle of spin3/2 (using, as

always, the basis of eigenstates ofSz). Solve the characteristic equation to

determine the eigenvalues ofSx.

The raising and lowering operators change the value of m by one unit:

L±flm=(Alm)flm+1, (4.120).

Where Almare constant. Question: What is Alm, if the Eigen functions are to be normalized? Hint: First show thatL±is the Hermitian conjugate of L±(Since LxandLyare observables, you may assume they are Hermitian…but prove it if you like); then use Equation 4.112.

An electron is in the spin state

χ=A3i4

(a) Determine the normalization constant .

(b) Find the expectation values of Sx,Sy , and Sz.

(c) Find the "uncertainties" ,σSx , σSyandσSz . (Note: These sigmas are standard deviations, not Pauli matrices!)

(d) Confirm that your results are consistent with all three uncertainty principles (Equation 4.100 and its cyclic permutations - only with in place ofL, of course).

Use Equation 4.32 to construct Yll(θ,ϕ)andy32(θ.ϕ) . (You can take P32from Table 4.2, but you'll have to work outPll from Equations 4.27 and 4.28.) Check that they satisfy the angular equation (Equation 4.18), for the appropriate values of l and m .
