Use equations 4.27 4.28 and 4.32 to construct Y00,Y21Check that they are normalized and orthogonal

Short Answer

Expert verified

Y00=14πY12=-158πeiϕsinθcosθ

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

PI'''x=1-x2m2(ddx)mPIxPIx=12II!(ddx)Ix2-1IYmIθ,ϕ=ε2I+1I-m!4πI+m!eimϕPImcosθ

Using these three equations we have to construct

Y00=14πP00cosθP00x=P0xP0x=1

Combine the above we get,

localid="1656058765024" Y00=14Ï€

Repeat the same procedure,

Y12=-5·14π·3·2eiϕP21cosθP21x=1-x2=ddxP2xP2x=14.2(ddx)2x2-1 P2x=18ddx2x2-1+x2xP2x=12x2-1+x2xP2x=123x2-1P21x=1-x2ddx[32x2-12]P21x=1-x23x

But

x=cosθ

So,

P21cosθ=1-cos2θ3cosθ=3cosθsinθ

Thus,

Y12=-158πeiϕsinθcosθ

Now we need to check the normalization

role="math" localid="1656062511219" ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=14π∫0πsinθdθ∫02πdϕ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=14π22π∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=1∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=154π∫0πsin2θcos2θsinθdθ∫02πdϕ∬Y002sinθdθdϕ=154π∫0π1-cos2θcos2θsinθdθ∫02πdϕy=cosθ,dy=-sinθ∬Y212sinθdθdϕ=154∫1-1y21-y2dy∬Y212sinθdθdϕ=154[y33-y55]1-1∬Y212sinθdθdϕ=1

Finally, we need to check the orthonormality as

∬Y00Y21sinθdθdϕ=-14π158π∫0πsinθcosθsinθdθ∫02πeiϕdϕ

The first and second integral vanishes thus,

∬Y00Y21sinθdθdϕ=0

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) Prove the three-dimensional virial theorem

2⟨T⟩=⟨r⋅∇V⟩

(for stationary states). Hint: Refer to problem 3.31,

(b) Apply the virial theorem to the case of hydrogen, and show that

⟨T⟩=-En;⟨V⟩=2En

(c) Apply the virial theorem to the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator and show that in this case

⟨T⟩=⟨V⟩=En/2

(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

B=B0cos(Ó¬³Ù)k^

whereB0 andÓ¬ 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:χ(0)=χ+(x)). Determine X(t)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-h/2 , if you measure Sx. Answer:

sin2(γµþ02Ó¬sin(Ó¬³Ù))

(d) What is the minimum field(B0) required to force a complete flip inSx ?

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

En=h2n(n+1)ma2, 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 thenthenergy 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.
