Hence showed that A=q2ll-12033o0hc3l+12l+1and A=q2ll-12033o0hc3l+12l-1.

Step by step solution

01

Define Spontaneous emission rate.

The spontaneous emission rate for a charge q, in a starting statea>decaying to the state is given by,

A=03||230hc3鈥 (1)

Here, the matrix element of the diploe moment,=q<bra>鈥 (2)

The hydrogen wave function is given by, nlm=Rn(r)Ylm(,)鈥 (3) Here,Rnis a radial function and Ylmis a spherical hormonic.

02

Obtain the transition using the integrals of spherical harmonics.

The transitions are allowed from a state nlm>only for ll1and mm,m1for the hydrogen atom (the selection rule). Suppose that the starting state is nlm>and finishing state is n'l'm'>.

For l'=l+1, work out the transition rates to all possible final values of m', for m'=m+1and m'=m-1.

Use the integrals of spherical harmonics to get:

02x0YlmY00Yl-mdd=1402x0YlmY10Yl+1-mdd=34(l+m+1)(l-m+1)(2l+1)(2l+3)02x0YlmY10Yl-1-(m+1)dd=38(l+m+1)(l-m+2)(2l+1)(2l+3)02x0YlmY10Yl-1-(m+1)dd=38(l-m)(l-m-1)(2l-1)(2l+1)And02x0Yl1m1Yl2m2Yl2-m2dd=0,m1+m2m3

03

Find <ψbxψa>,<ψbyψa>and <ψb|z|ψa> .

In spherical coordinates, the values are:

x=rsin()cosy=rsin()sinz=rcos

In terms of the spherical harmonics as:

x+iy=rsinei=-r83Y11x-iy=r83Y1-1z=r83Y10

The only non-zero matrix elements by using equation (4) are:

localid="1658318624067" n,l+1,mznlm=1l,11l+1,m43Y10om=ll+143020YlvnY10Yl+1mdd=ll+1(l+m+1)(l-m+1)(2l+1)(2l+3) 鈥︹赌(5)

localid="1658376948601" a=-ll+183020YtmY11Yl+1-(m+1)dd=-ll+1(l+m+1)(l+m+2)(2l+1)(2l+3)......(6)=nlmx+iyn,l+1,m-1*=-ll+183020Yl+1m-1Y11Yl-mdd=-ll+1(l+1-(m-1)(l+1-(m-1)-1)(2(l+1)(2(l+1)+1)=-ll+1(l-m+2)(l-m+1)(2l+1)(2l+3)...(7)

Here,localid="1658376877539" a=n',l+1+m+1x+iynlm=n',l+1+m-1x-iynlm. And also,.

ll+1=0r3Rnl(r)Rn(l+1)(r)dr.

To separate x and y, in (6) and (7), note that:

localid="1658376981160" n',l+1+m-1x-iynlm=ll+183020Yl+1m-1Y11Yl-mdd=0

As it is zero, add it to (6) and subtracted also from (6), so separate x and y to get:

localid="1658378320569" n',l+1+m+1xnlm=-12lln(l+m+1)(l+m+2)(2l+1)(2l+3) 鈥︹. (8)

localid="1658378337745" n',l+1+m+1ynlm=-12ll1(l+m+1)(l+m+2)(2l+1)(2l+3) 鈥︹. (9)

By adding it to (7) and also subtracted from (7), so separate and to get:

localid="1658378363128" n',l+1+m-1xnlm=-12lL+1(l-m+1)(l-m+2)(2l+1)(2l+3) 鈥︹. (10)

localid="1658378375668" n',l+1+m-1ynlm=-12ll+1(l-m+2)(l-m+1)(2l+1)(2l+3) 鈥︹. (11)

04

Find the value of A.

Put all these results together into the square modules of the dipole moment to get:

P2q2=n',l+1,mznlm2+n',l+1,m+1xnlm2+n',l+1,m+1ynlm2+n',l+1,m-1xnlm2+n',l+1,m-1ynlm2

Substitute from (8), (9), (10) and (11) into this equation to get:

2=q2ll+12(l+m+1)(l-m+1)+12(l+m+1)(l+m+2)+(l-m+1)(2l+1)(2l+3)=q2ll+12l+12l+1

Substitute into (1) to get:

role="math" localid="1658382762842" A=q2ll+1203300hc3l+12l+1

05

Find the non-zero matrix element.

Follow the same method for l'=l-1.

n'l-1,mznlm=n',l,mzn,l-1,m*=ll-1(l+m)(l-m)(2l-1)(2l+1) 鈥︹. (12)

role="math" localid="1658381942976" n'l-1,m-1x-iynlm=nlmx+iyn',l-1,m-1=-ll-1(l+m-1)(l+m)(2l-1)(2l+1)....(13)n'l-1,m+1x+iynlm=-ll-1(l-m-1)(l-m)(2l-1)(2l+1).......(14)

Separate and to get:

n'l-1,m-1xnlm=-12ll-1(l+m-1)(l+m)(2l-1)(2l+1)....(15)n'l-1,m-1ynlm=-12ll-1(l+m-1)(l+m)(2l-1)(2l+1).......(16)

n'l-1,m+1xnlm=-12ll-1(l-m-1)(l-m)(2l-1)(2l+1)....(17)n'l-1,m-1ynlm=-12ll-1(l-m-1)(l-m)(2l-1)(2l+1).......(18)

Put all these results to get the dipole moment:

role="math" localid="1658382683044" 2=q2ll+12(l+1)(l-m)+12(l+m-1)(l+m)+(l-m-1)(l-m)(2l-1)(2l+1)=q2ll-12l2l-1

Substitute into (1) we get:

A=q2ll-12033o0hc3l2l-1

Hence proved.

Prove the commutation relation in Equation 9.74. Hint: First show that

[L2,z]=2ih(xLy-yLx-ihz)

Use this, and the fact that localid="1657963185161" r.L=r.(rp)=0, to demonstrate that

[L2,[L2,z]]=2h2(zL2+L2z)
