Separate the Schr枚dinger equation (3.22) in rectangular coordinates in 3 dimensions assuming that . (This is a 3-dimensional harmonic oscillator). Observe that each of the separated equations is of the form of the one-dimensional oscillator equation in Problem 20. Thus write the solutions for the 3dimensional problem, where, find the energy eigenvalues and their degree of degeneracy (see Problem (6.7) and Chapter 15, Problem 4.21).
A string of length l has initial displacement .Find the displacement as a function of x and t.
Find the energy eigenvalues and Eigen functions for the hydrogen atom. The potential energy is in Gaussian units, where is the charge of the electron and r is in spherical coordinates. Since V is a function of r only, you know from Problem 18 that the Eigen functions are R(r) times the spherical harmonics , so you only have to find R(r). Substitute V(r) into the R equation in Problem 18 and make the following simplifications: Let ; show that then
. Let (note that for a bound state, E is negative, so is positive) and , to get the first equation in Problem 22.26 of Chapter 12. Do this problem to find y(x) , and the result that is an integer, say n .[Caution: not the same n as in equation (22.26)]. Hence find the possible values of (these are the radii of the Bohr orbits), and the energy eigenvalues. You should have found proportional to n; let , where ais the value of when n = 1, that is, the radius of the first Bohr orbit. Write the solutions R(r) by substituting back , and , and find from.
