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 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The angular equation is

Yll(θ,φ)=1l!(2l+1)!4π(-12eiφsinθ)lYll(θ,φ)=141052πe2iφsin2θcosθ

Step by step solution

01

Define the Schrodinger 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

Determine the terms in equation

Equations 4.27, 4.28 and 4.32, are given by:

Plm(x)=1-x2m/2ddxmPl(x)Pl(x)=12ll!ddxl(x2-1)l Ylm(θ,Ï•)=σ(2l+1)4Ï€(l-m)!(l+m)!e¾±³¾Ï•Plm(³¦´Ç²õθ)

Using these equations, we need to construct Ylland Y32, from (3) we have:

Yll=(-1)l(2l+1)4Ï€1(2l)!e¾±±ôÏ•Pll(cos(θ))

Using (1) we can write as:

Pll(x)=(1-x2)1/2ddxlPl(x)

Substitute from (2) with Pl

Pll(x)=12ll!(1-x2)1/2ddx2l(x2-1)l

but (x2-1)l=x2l+....,, where the rest of the term has a power less than 2l, which means that when we differentiate localid="1658135583492" (x2-1)l,2l times then all the terms vanishes except the first term with the power of 2l, so:

Pll(x)=12ll!(1-x2)1/2ddx2lx2l

but,

localid="1658135800919" ddxnxn-n!

thus:

Pll=(2l)!2ll!(1-x2)1/2

for x=cos(θ),1-x2=sin2(θ)we get:

Pll=(2l)!2ll!sinl(θ)

Substitute into (4) with Pll, so we get:

Yll=(-1)l(2l+1)4π(2l)!eilϕ(2l)2ll!sinl(0)=(-1)l(2l)!(2l+1)4πeilϕ(2l)2ll!sinl(θ)=1l!(2l+1)4π-12eiϕsinθlYll=1l!(2l+1)!4π-12eiϕsinθl

03

Determine the terms in Schrodinger equation

Now we need to findy32, following the same method, from equations (1), (2) and (3) we have:

Y32=74π.15!e2iϕp32(cos(θ))P32(x)=(1-x2)ddx2p3(x)p3(x)=18.3!ddx3(x2-1)3

First we do the differentiation in the last equation as:

P3=18.3.2ddx26x(x2-1)2=18ddx(x2-1)2+4x2(x2-1)=184x(x2-1)+8x(x2-1)+4x2.2x=12(x3-x+2x3-2x+2x3)=12(5x3-3x)

Then we substitute into the second one, and also do the differentiation as:

P32(x)=12(1-x2)ddx2(5x3-3x)=12(1-x2)ddx(15x2-3)=12(1-x2)30x=15x(1-x2)

forx=cos(θ),1-x2=sin2(θ)we get:

P32(cos(θ))=sin2(θ)cos(θ)

Now substitute into the first one, so we get:

Y32=74π15!15e2iϕcos(θ)sin2(θ)=141052πe2iϕsin2(θ)cos(θ)Y32=141052πe2iϕsin2(θ)cos(θ)

The (time-independent) momentum space wave function in three dimensions is defined by the natural generalization of Equation 3.54:

Φ(p,t)=12πh∫∞∞e-ipx/hψ(x,t)dx(3.54).ϕ(p)≡1(2πh)3/2∫e-i(p.r)Ihψ(r)d3r.(4.223).
