(a) Prove the three-dimensional virial theorem
(for stationary states). Hint: Refer to problem 3.31,
(b) Apply the virial theorem to the case of hydrogen, and show that
(c) Apply the virial theorem to the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator and show that in this case
(a)Derive Equation 4.131 from Equation 4.130. Hint: Use a test function; otherwise you're likely to drop some terms.
(b)Derive Equation 4.132 from Equations 4.129 and 4.131 .Hint : Use Equation 4.112.
An electron is at rest in an oscillating magnetic field
where and are constants.
(a) Construct the Hamiltonian matrix for this system.
(b) The electron starts out (at t=0 ) in the spin-up state with respect to the x-axis (that is:. Determine at any subsequent time. Beware: This is a time-dependent Hamiltonian, so you cannot get in the usual way from stationary states. Fortunately, in this case you can solve the timedependent Schrödinger equation (Equation 4.162) directly.
(c) Find the probability of getting , if you measure . Answer:
(d) What is the minimum field required to force a complete flip in ?
Two particles of mass mare attached to the ends of a massless rigid rod of length a. The system is free to rotate in three dimensions about the center (but the center point itself is fixed).
(a) Show that the allowed energies of this rigid rotor are
, for n=0,1,2,...
Hint: First express the (classical) energy in terms of the total angular momentum.
(b) What are the normalized Eigen functions for this system? What is the degeneracy of theenergy level?
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.
