b) Energy of first excited state splits in three energies: ,:E1-2尘蝇2,E1andE1+2尘蝇2.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of hyperfine harmonic oscillator.

A harmonic oscillator is a system that experiences a restoring force F proportionate to the displacement X when it is moved from its equilibrium position, where k is a positive constant.

02

The ground state.

(a)

If the perturbation Hamiltonian is provided with: Find energy adjustments on the ground state and first excited state in a 3D harmonic oscillator.

H'=位虫2yz

Ground state in 3D harmonic oscillator,

|0>=|0>x|0>y|0>z

So first-order correction of ground state energy is:

E01=<0H'0>=<0x20><0y0><0z0>=0

Because<0y,z0>=0

03

The (triply degenerate) first excited state.

(b)

Because the first excited state is triply degenerate, we must first acquire the perturbation matrix W and then determine the eigenvalues.

The energy shifts of the non-perturbed initial excited state are equivalent to eigenvalues.

The first aroused state is described as follows:

|1>=|1>x|0>y|0>z|2>=|0>x|1>y|0>z|3>=|0>x|0>y|1>z

There are matrix elements to compute, but the majority of them are 0 because:0|y,z|0=0:

Wij=i|H'|j,i,j=2,31|H'|1=1|x2|10|y|00|z|0=01|H'|2=1|x2|00|y|10|z|0=02|H'|1=01|H'|3=1|x2|00|y|00|z|1=03|H'|1=02|H'|2=0|x2|01|y|10|z|0=03|H'|3=0|x2|00|y|01|z|1=02|H'|3=0|x2|01|y|00|z|1=2尘蝇2尘蝇2尘蝇=2尘蝇23|H'|2=2尘蝇2

Perturbation matrix W is equal to:

role="math" localid="1656049433676" W=2尘蝇2000001010

Now calculate eigenvalues

A=2尘蝇2det(W-E.I)=0-E000-EA0A-E=0-E(E2-A2)=0E=0orE12=A=2尘蝇2

Energy of first excited state splits in three energies:

:E1-2尘蝇2,E1andE1+2尘蝇2.

Suppose we perturb the infinite cubical well (Equation 6.30) by putting a delta function 鈥渂ump鈥 at the point(a/4,a/2,3a/4):H'=a3V0(x-a/4)(y-a/2)(z-3a/4).

Find the first-order corrections to the energy of the ground state and the (triply degenerate) first excited states.

Consider a charged particle in the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. Suppose we turn on a weak electric field (E), so that the potential energy is shifted by an amountH'=-qEx.(a) Show that there is no first-order change in the energy levels, and calculate the second-order correction. Hint: See Problem 3.33.

(b) The Schr枚dinger equation can be solved directly in this case, by a change of variablesx'x-(qE/尘蝇2). Find the exact energies, and show that they are consistent with the perturbation theory approximation.

(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.

Find the (lowest order) relativistic correction to the energy levels of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Hint: Use the technique in Example 2.5 .

Estimate the correction to the ground state energy of hydrogen due to the finite size of the nucleus. Treat the proton as a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius b, so the potential energy of an electron inside the shell is constant:-e2/(4蟺系0b);this isn't very realistic, but it is the simplest model, and it will give us the right order of magnitude. Expand your result in powers of the small parameter, (b / a) whereis the Bohr radius, and keep only the leading term, so your final answer takes the form 螖贰E=A(b/a)n. Your business is to determine the constant Aand the power n. Finally, put in b10-15m(roughly the radius of the proton) and work out the actual number. How does it compare with fine structure and hyperfine structure?
