(a)En2={0,ifniseven-2ma/魔苍2,ifnisodd.(b)En2=232(-4n-2)=-218(n+12).

Step by step solution

01

(a)Finding the second order correction to the energies(En2)

m0Hn0=2a0asinmaxx-a2sinnaxdx=2asinm2sinn2

which is zero unless both m and n are odd-in which case it is2/aSo Eq. 6.15 says

En2=mnm0H'n02En0-Em0En2=mn,odd2a21En0-Em0 (6.15).

But Eq. 2.27 says

En=2kn22m=n2222ma2En0=222ma2n2,SO (2.27).

En2=0,ifniseven2m22mn,odd1n2-m2'ifnisodd

To sum the series, note that Thus,1n2-m2=12n1m+n-1m-n.Thus

forn=1:=123,5,7...1m+1-1m-1=1214+16+18+...-12-14-16-18...=12-12=-14forn=3:=161,5,7...1m+3-1m-3,=1614+18+110+...+12-12-14-16-18-110...=16-16=-136

In general, there is perfect cancellation except for the term 1/2n in the first sum, so the total is

12n-12n=-12n2.

Therefore:En2=0,ifniseven-2m/n2,ifnisodd.

(b) Calculating the second order correction to the ground state energy(E02)

H'=12kx2;m0H'n0=12kmx2nusingEqs.2.66and2.69:a^+n=n+1n+1'a^-n=nn-12.66.x=2m蝇a^++a^-;p^=i魔m蝇2a^+-a^-2.69.

mx2n=2mma+2+a+a-+a-a++a-2n=2m[n+1n+2m\n+2+nm\n+n+1m\n+nn-1m\n-2]SO,formn,m0H'n0=12k2m蝇n+1n+2m,n+2+nn+1m,n-2En0=42mnn+1n+2m,n+2+nn+1m,n+22n+12-m+12

=216mnn+1n+1m,n,+2+nn-1m,n,-2n-m=232-n2-3n-2+n2-n=232-4n-2=-218n+12

(which agrees with the2term in the exact solution Problem 6.2(a)).

By appropriate modification of the hydrogen formula, determine the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of

(a) muonic hydrogen (in which a muon-same charge and g-factor as the electron, but 207times the mass-substitutes for the electron),

(b) positronium (in which a positron-same mass and g-factor as the electron, but opposite charge-substitutes for the proton), and

(c) muonium (in which an anti-muon-same mass and g-factor as a muon, but opposite charge-substitutes for the proton). Hint: Don't forget to use the reduced mass (Problem 5.1) in calculating the "Bohr radius" of these exotic "atoms." Incidentally, the answer you get for positronium (4.8210-4eV)is quite far from the experimental value; (8.4110-4eV)the large discrepancy is due to pair annihilation (e++e-+), which contributes an extra localid="1656057412048" (3/4)螖贰,and does not occur (of course) in ordinary hydrogen, muonic hydrogen, or muoniun.

When an atom is placed in a uniform external electric field ,the energy levels are shifted-a phenomenon known as the Stark effect (it is the electrical analog to the Zeeman effect). In this problem we analyse the Stark effect for the n=1 and n=2 states of hydrogen. Let the field point in the z direction, so the potential energy of the electron is

H's=eEextz=eEextrcos

Treat this as a perturbation on the Bohr Hamiltonian (Equation 6.42). (Spin is irrelevant to this problem, so ignore it, and neglect the fine structure.)

(a) Show that the ground state energy is not affected by this perturbation, in first order.

(b) The first excited state is 4-fold degenerate: Y200,Y211,Y210,Y200,Y21-1Using degenerate perturbation theory, determine the first order corrections to the energy. Into how many levels does E2 split?

(c) What are the "good" wave functions for part (b)? Find the expectation value of the electric dipole moment (pe=-er) in each of these "good" states.Notice that the results are independent of the applied field-evidently hydrogen in its first excited state can carry a permanent electric dipole moment.

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?

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

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.
