The equation is derived,Efs1=13.6eVn3α234n-II+1-m1msI+I+1/2I+1 .

Step by step solution

01

Definition of spin-orbit coupling.

The connection between the electron's spin and its orbital motion around the nucleus is known as spin-orbit coupling.

02

Step 2: Derivation of equation 6.82.

Write the expression for the relativistic correction of the energy levels.

Er1=En22mc24nI+1/2-3

Write the expression spin- orbit coupling energy.

Hso'=e28πε0.1m2c2r3.S.LEso1=e28πε0.1m2c2r3.S.Lr3

It is known that localid="1658141432913" S.L=ħ2m1msand 1r3=1II+1/2I+1n3a3 Substitute ħ2m1msfor S.Land1II+1/2I+1n3a3for 1r3 in the above expression.

Eso1=e28πε0.1m2c2n3a3.ħm1msII+1/2I+1

Apply the first-order perturbation theory's fine structure adjustment to energy levels.

Efs1=n/mImsHr'n/m1ms+n/mImsHso'n/m1ms=Er1+Eso1=-En22mc24nI+1/2-3+e28πε0.1m2c2n3a3.ħ2m1msII+1/2I+1

Here,a=4πε0ħ2me2.

Efs1=-α24n413.6e.V4nI+1/2-3+α4m2ħe24πε02mImsn3II+1/2I+1=-α24n413.6e.V4nI+1/2-3+α213.6eVmImsn3II+1/2I+1=13.6e.Vn3α2-1I+1/2+34n+mImsIII+1/2I+1

Write the expression for the total energy.

role="math" localid="1658144520537" Efs1=13.6eVn3α234n-II+1-m1msII+1/2I+1

Use the definition of Bohr energy.

role="math" localid="1658144104030" En=-E1n2En=-mc2α22n2-En22mc2=-α213.6eV4n4En2=E12n4

The expression becomes,

E1=-mc2α22E1n4.-mc2α22=--13.6eVmc2α22n4En22mc2=-13.6eVmc2α24n4mc2=-13.6eV4n4α2

Thus, equation 6.82 is derived, that isEfs1=-13.6eVn4α234n-II+1-m1msII+1/2I+1 .
