Short Answer

Expert verified

Equations 7.45and 7.46matches the two integrals, and the results are the same.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of integral

An integral is a number that is assigned to a function in order to explain displacement, area, volume, and other notions that occur when infinitesimal data is combined.

Integration is the term used to describe the process of locating integrals.

02

Evaluate  D and X

Calculate two integrals:

D=a⟨ψ0(r1)|1r2|ψ0(r1)⟩X=a⟨ψ0(r1)|1r1|ψ0(r2)⟩

whereψ0(r)=e−r/aÏ€a3, andr1=r a²Ô»å r2=r2+R2−2rRcosθ

The first integral is,

D=1πa2∫e−r/a1r2e−r/ar2drsinθdθdφ=2a2∫0∞r2e−2r/adr∫0πsinθdθr2+R2−2rRcosθ

As,

u=r2+R2−2rRcosθdu=2rRsinθ

The limits will be

0→(r−R)2 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰Ï€â†’(r+R)2

D=1Ra2∫0∞re−2r/adr∫(r−R)2(r+R)2duu=2Ra2∫0∞re−2r/a[r+R−|r−R|]dr=2Ra2[∫0Rre−2r/a(r+R−R+r)dr+∫R∞re−2r/a(r+R−r+R)dr]=2Ra2[2∫0Rr2e−2r/adr+2R∫R∞re−2r/adr]

Further, evaluate and get,

D=4Ra2{a38[e−2r/a(−4R2a2−4Ra−2)+2]+Ra24e−2R/a(2Ra+1)}=4Ra2⋅a24{a2e−2R/a(−4R2a2−4Ra−2)+a+Re−2R/a(2Ra+1)}=1R{−2Re−2R/a−ae−2R/a+a+Re−2R/a}=aR−aRe−2R/a−e−2R/aD=aR−(1+aR)e−2R/a

03

The Second integral

Now, the second integral,

X=1πa2∫e−r/a1re−r2/ar2drsinθdθdφ=2a2∫0∞re−r/adr∫0πexp(−r2+R2−2rRcosθa)sinθdθ

As,

u=r2+R2−2rRcosθdu=2rRsinθ

Thus, The limits will be 0→(r−R)2 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰Ï€â†’(r+R)2

Use this in the integral and get,

X=1Ra2∫0∞e−r/adr∫(r−R)2(r+R)2e−u/adu=1Ra2∫0∞e−r/a2a2[e−|r−R|/a(|r−R|a+1)−e−R/ae−r/a(ra+Ra+1)]dr

04

Separate the integral, which containsthe absolute value

Now separate the integral, which contains the absolute value, into two parts:

X=2R{∫0∞e−r/ae−|r−R|/a(|r−R|a+1)−e−R/a∫0∞e−2r/a(ra+Ra+1)dr}=2R{∫0Re−r/ae−R/aer/a(Ra−ra+1)dr+∫R∞e−r/aeR/ae−r/a(−Ra+ra+1)dr−e−R/a∫0∞[rae−2r/a+(Ra+1)e−2r/a]dr}=2e−R/aR{R2a−R22a+R+e2R/a∫R∞e−2r/a(−Ra+ra+1)dr−1aa24−(Ra+1)a2}=2e−R/aR{R22a+R+e2R/a[1aa4e−2R/a(a+2R)+(1−Ra)a2e−2R/a]−a4−a2(Ra+1)}

Further evaluate as:

=2e−R/aR{R22a+R+14(a+2R)+a2(1−Ra)−a4−a2(Ra+1)}=2e−R/aR(R22a+R2)X=e−R/a(1+Ra)

Thus, after calculating the two integrals, it is found that both yield the same outcome as equations 7.45and 7.46.

Most popular questions from this chapter

a) Use the variational principle to prove that first-order non-degenerate perturbation theory always overestimates (or at any rate never underestimates) the ground state energy.

(b) In view of (a), you would expect that the second-order correction to the ground state is always negative. Confirm that this is indeed the case, by examining Equation 6.15.

Suppose you’re given a two-level quantum system whose (time-independent) Hamiltonian H0admits just two Eigen states, Ψa (with energy Ea ), and Ψb(with energy Eb ). They are orthogonal, normalized, and non-degenerate (assume Ea is the smaller of the two energies). Now we turn on a perturbation H′, with the following matrix elements:

Ψa|H'|Ψa=Ψb|H'|Ψb=0;Ψa|H'|Ψb=Ψb|H'|Ψa (7.74).

where h is some specified constant.

(a) Find the exact Eigen values of the perturbed Hamiltonian.

(b) Estimate the energies of the perturbed system using second-order perturbation theory.

(c) Estimate the ground state energy of the perturbed system using the variation principle, with a trial function of the form

Ψ=(³¦´Ç²õÏ•)Ψa+(²õ¾±²ÔÏ•)ψb (7.75).

where ϕ is an adjustable parameter. Note: Writing the linear combination in this way is just a neat way to guarantee that ψ is normalized.

(d) Compare your answers to (a), (b), and (c). Why is the variational principle so accurate, in this case?

(a) Use a trial wave function of the form

ψ(x)={Acos(πx/a),if(−a/2<x<a/2)0otherwise

to obtain a bound on the ground state energy of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. What is the "best" value ofa? Compare⟨H⟩minwith the exact energy. Note: This trial function has a "kink" in it (a discontinuous derivative) at±a/2; do you need to take account of this, as I did in Example 7.3?

(b) Useψ(x)=Bsin(πx/a)on the interval(−a,a)to obtain a bound on the first excited state. Compare the exact answer.

Find the best bound on Egsfor the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator using a trial wave function of the form role="math" localid="1656044636654" ψ(x)=Ax2+b2.,where A is determined by normalization and b is an adjustable parameter.

Use a gaussian trial function (Equation 7.2) to obtain the lowest upper bound you can on the ground state energy of (a) the linear potential V(x)=α|x| (b) the quartic potential:V(x)=αx4
