What are the dimensions of the spherical harmonics l,ml()ml()given in Table 7.3? What are the dimensions of theRn,l(r)given in Table 7.4, and why? What are the dimensions ofP(r), and why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The spherical harmonics l,mlmlfare dimensionless.

All radial functions have dimensionL-3/2.

The dimension of Pris1L=L-1 .

Step by step solution

01

Dimensional analysis

In engineering dimensional analysis is the analysis of relationship of physical quantities with each other by identifying their base quantities or the basic units.

02

 Formula used

The normalization equation is given by,

0R2rr2dr=1

Where, R is the Radial wave function, r is the radius

03

 The dimensions of Spherical Harmonics and radial functions

Consider table 7.3, the spherical harmonic functions represented as l,mlmlfare the combinations of sine, cosine and complex exponential functions and thus they are dimension less.

As you can see in Table 7.4, all radial functions have dimensionL-3/2, because their square gives probability per unit volume.

04

 The dimensions of Pr

The dimension of Pris calculated as,

0R2rr2dr=1

0P(r)dr=1

Where,Pr=r2R2r is the Radial Probability

Since, drhas the dimension of length so, the dimension of Pris1L=L-1 .

We have noted that for a given energy, as lincreases, the motion is more like a circle at a constant radius, with the rotational energy increasing as the radial energy correspondingly decreases. But is the radial kinetic energy 0 for the largest lvalues? Calculate the ratio of expectation values, radial energy to rotational energy, for the(n,l,mt)=(2.1,+1)state. Use the operators

KErad=-h22m1r2r(rr)KErad=h2l(l+1)2mr2

Which we deduce from equation (7-30).

Exercise 81 obtained formulas for hydrogen like atoms in which the nucleus is not assumed infinite, as in the chapter, but is of mass m1, whilem2is the mass of the orbiting negative charge. In positronium, an electron orbits a single positive charge, as in hydrogen, but one whose mass is the same as that of the electron -- a positron. Obtain numerical values of the ground state energy and 鈥淏ohr radius鈥 of positronium.

If the constantCxinequation(7-5)were positive, the general mathematical solution would be

Ae+cxx+Be-cxx

Show that this function cannot be 0 at two points. This makes it an unacceptable solution for the infinite well, since it cannot be continuous with the wave functions outside the walls, which are 0.

To conserve momentum, an atom emitting a photon must recoil, meaning that not all of the energy made available in the downward jump goes to the photon. (a) Find a hydrogen atom's recoil energy when it emits a photon in a n = 2 to n = 1 transition. (Note: The calculation is easiest to carry out if it is assumed that the photon carries essentially all the transition energy, which thus determines its momentum. The result justifies the assumption.) (b) What fraction of the transition energy is the recoil energy?

Question: Explain to your friend. who has just learned about simple one-dimensional standing waves on a string fixed at its ends, why hydrogen's electron has only certain energies, and why, for some of those energies, the electron can still be in different states?
