Substitute (8.25) into (8.22) and use (8.23) and (8.24) to show that (8.25) is a solution of (8.22).
Find the characteristic frequencies of a circular membrane which satisfies the Klein Gordon equation (Problem 25).
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.
Question: Do Problem 6 in polar coordinates to find the eigenfunctions and energy eigenvalues of a particle in a circular box .
Continue the problem of Example 2 in the following way: Instead of using the explicit form of B(k) from (9.12), leave it as an integral and write (9.13) in the form
Change the order of integration and evaluate the integral with respect to k first. (Hint: Write the product of sines as a difference of cosines.) Now do the t integration and get (9.14)
