Step by step solution

01

Define the Schrödinger equation

A differential equation describes matter in quantum mechanics in terms of the wave-like properties of particles in a field. Its answer is related to a particle's probability density in space and time.

02

Calculation

Plm'(x)=(1-x2)m2(ddx)mPl(x)Pl(x)=12l!(ddx)x2-1lYmll(θ,ϕ)=ε(2l+1)(l-m)!4π(l+m)!eimϕPlm(cosθ)

Using these three equations we have to construct

Y00=14πP00(cosθ)P00(x)=P0(x)P0(x)=1

Combine the above we get,

Y00=14Ï€

Repeat the same procedure,

Y12=-5⋅14π⋅3⋅2eiϕP21(cosθ)P21(x)=1-x2ddxP2(x)P2(x)=14⋅2(ddx)2(x2-1)P2(x)=18ddx[2(x2-1)2x]P2(x)=12(x2-1)+X(2X)P2(x)=123X2-1P2(x)=1-X2ddx[32x2-12]P2(x)=1-X23x

But

x=cosθ

So,

p21cosθ=1-cos2θ3cosθ=3cosθsinθ

Thus,

Y12=-158πeiϕ(sinθ)(cosθ)

Now we need to check the normalization

Finally, we need to check the orthonormality as

role="math" localid="1658466365776" ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=14π158π∫0πsinθcosθsinθdθ∫02πeiϕdϕ

The first and second integral vanishes thus,

∬Y00y21sinθdθdϕ=0

Note: You're always free to multiply by an arbitrary phase factor-say,eiϕ-so your answer may not look exactly the same as mine.

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).

(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.)
