Consider the (eight) n=2states,|2lmlms.Find the energy of each state, under strong-field Zeeman splitting. Express each answer as the sum of three terms: the Bohr energy, the fine-structure (proportional toa2), and the Zeeman contribution (proportional toBBext.). If you ignore fine structure altogether, how many distinct levels are there, and what are their degeneracies?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Only five of the eight distinct energies remain when fine structure is ignored: There are three degenerate energies.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Zeeman splitting.

When radiation (such as light) originates in a magnetic field, Zeeman splitting occurs, which is the splitting of a single spectral line into two or more lines of different frequencies.

02

Step2: Derivation.

For n=2, there are eight different states |2lmlms:

i)l=0ml=0ms=-12,ii)l=0ml=0ms=12,iii)l=1ml=-1ms=-12,iv)l=1ml=-1ms=12,v)l=1ml=0ms=-12,vi)l=1ml=0ms=12,vii)l=1ml=1ms=-12,viii)l=1ml=1ms=1/2i)l=0ml=0ms=-12,ii)l=0ml=0ms=12,iii)l=1ml=-1ms=-12,iv)l=1ml=-1ms=12,v)l=1ml=0ms=-12,vi)l=1ml=0ms=12,vii)l=1ml=1ms=-12,viii)l=1ml=1ms=12

Total energy is equal to:

E=-13.6eVn2+BBext(ml+2ms)+13.6eVn3234n-l(l+1)-mlmsll+12(l+1)

role="math" localid="1656064856692" i)E=-13.6eVn2-BBext+13.6eVn3234n-1.ii)E=-13.6eVn2+BBext+13.6eVn3234n-1.iii)E=-13.6eVn2-2BBext+13.6eVn3234n-32.iv)E=-13.6eVn2+13.6eVn3234n-56.v)E=-13.6eVn2-BBext+13.6eVn3234n-23.vi)E=-13.6eVn2+BBext+13.6eVn3234n-23.vii)E=-13.6eVn2+2BBext+13.6eVn3234n-56.viii)E=-13.6eVn2+13.6eVn3234n-12.

If fine structure is ignored,a=0.

Therefore, the following energies:

E=-13.6eVn2-BBextDegree of degeneracy: 2

E=-13.6eVn2+BBextDegree of degeneracy: 2

E=-13.6eVn2Degree of degeneracy: 2

E=-13.6eVn2-2BBextDegree of degeneracy: 1

E=-13.6eVn2+2BBextDegree of degeneracy: 1

Now only there are five distinct energies instead of eight.

Suppose the Hamiltonian H, for a particular quantum system, is a function of some parameter let En()and n()be the eigen values and

Eigen functions of. The Feynman-Hellmann theorem22states that

En=(nHn)

(Assuming either that Enis nondegenerate, or-if degenerate-that the n's are the "good" linear combinations of the degenerate Eigen functions).

(a) Prove the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. Hint: Use Equation 6.9.

(b) Apply it to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator,(i)using =(this yields a formula for the expectation value of V), (II)using =(this yields (T)),and (iii)using =m(this yields a relation between (T)and (V)). Compare your answers to Problem 2.12, and the virial theorem predictions (Problem 3.31).

(a) Find the second-order correction to the energies(En2)for the potential in Problem 6.1. Comment: You can sum the series explicitly, obtaining -for odd n.

(b) Calculate the second-order correction to the ground state energy(E02)for the potential in Problem 6.2. Check that your result is consistent with the exact solution.

Starting with Equation 6.80, and using Equations 6.57, 6.61, 6.64, and 6.81, derive Equation 6.82.

If I=0, then j=s,mj=ms, and the "good" states are the same (nms)for weak and strong fields. DetermineEz1(from Equation) and the fine structure energies (Equation 6.67), and write down the general result for the I=O Zeeman Effect - regardless of the strength of the field. Show that the strong field formula (Equation 6.82) reproduces this result, provided that we interpret the indeterminate term in square brackets as.

The Feynman-Hellmann theorem (Problem 6.32) can be used to determine the expectation values of1/rand1/r2for hydrogen.23The effective Hamiltonian for the radial wave functions is (Equation4.53)

22md2dr2+22ml(l+1)r2-e2401r

And the eigenvalues (expressed in terms ofl)24are (Equation 4.70)

En=-me432202h2jmax+l+12

(a) Use =ein the Feynman-Hellmann theorem to obtain 1/r. Check your result against Equation 6.55.

(b) Use =lto obtain 1/r2. Check your answer with Equation6.56.
