  2. To how many different states do these three energies correspond?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1. The three lowest different energies are as given below.

E1,1,1=1.13cVE1,1,2=2.26eVE1,2,2=3.38eV

2. Among the first three energies computed in part (a), there are one ground state, three degenerate first excited states, and three degenerate second exciting levels for a total of seven states.

Step by step solution

01

A concept of energy:

The three quantum numbers describe the states of the cubic square well are (nx,ny,nz)and the energy for a given set of quantum numbers.

Then write the relation as below.

Enx,ny,nz=(nx2+ny2+nz2)2h22mL2

02

(a) Determine the three lowest different energies:

For the ground state nxny,nz=1,1,1which has the lowest energy.

The corresponding energy of the ground state is,

E1,1,1=12+12+122h22mL2

Substitute 1.05410-34J.s for h , 9.109410-31kg for m, and 1nm for L in the above equation.

E1,1,1=12+12+122h22mL2=3(3.14159)21.0541034J.s229.10941031kg(1nm)2=3(3.14159)21.0541034J.s229.10941031kg(1nm)109mnm2=36.02471020J

Thus, the lowest energy is,

E1,1,1=36.024710-20J=1.8110-20J=1.8110-20J1eV1.602181010J=1.13cV

There is only one such state.

03

Determine the next lowest energies:

The lowest energy correspond to any of the three choice of quantum numbers,

nxny,nz=2,1,1nxny,nz=1,2,1nxny,nz=1,1,2

All of which have the same energy as,

Enx,ny,nz=(nx2+ny2+nz2)2h22mL2

Substitute 1.05410-34J.s for h, 9.109410-31kg for m, and 1 nm for L in the above equation.

E1,1,2=12+12+222h22mL2=6(3.14159)21.0541034J.s229.10941031kg(1nm)2=6(3.14159)21.0541034J.s229.10941031kg(1nm)109mnm2=66.02471020JE1,1,2=3.621019JJ1.61010eV=2.26eV

04

Determine the next lowest energies:

The lowest energy corresponds to any of the three choice of quantum numbers,

nxny,nz=1,2,2nxny,nz=2,1,2nxny,nz=2,2,1

All of which have the same energy as,

Enx,ny,nz=(nx2+ny2+nz2)2h22mL2Enx,ny,nz=(nx2+ny2+nz2)2h22mL2

Substitute 1.05410-34J.s for h , 9.109410-31kg for m , and 1 nm for L in the above equation.

E1,2,2=12+22+222h22mL2=9(3.14159)21.0541034J.s229.10941031kg(1nm)2=9(3.14159)21.0541034J.s229.10941031kg(1nm)109mnm2=96.02471020JE1,2,2=5.421019JeV1.61019J=3.38eV

05

(b) Determine different states do these three energies correspond:

Among the first three energies computed in part (a), there are one ground state, three degenerate first excited states, and three degenerate second excited levels for a total of seven states.

Verify that the solution given in equation (7.6) satisfy differential equations (7.5) as well as the required boundary conditions.

The space between two parallel metal plates is filled with an element in a gaseous stale. Electrons leave one plate at negligible speed and are accelerated toward the other by a potential differenceVapplied between the plates. As Vis increased from 0, the electron current increases more or less linearly, but when Vreaches 4.9 V , the current drops precipitously. From nearly 0 , it builds again roughly linearly as Vis increased beyond 4.9 V .

(a) How can the presence of the gas explain these observations?

(b) The Gas emits pure 鈥渓ight鈥 when Vexceeds 4.9 V . What is its wavelength?

A spherical infinite well has potential energy

U(r)={0r<a+r>a

Since this is a central force, we may use the Schrodinger equation in the form (7-30)-that is, just before the specific hydrogen atom potential energy is inserted. Show that the following is a solution

R(r)=Asinbrr

Now apply the appropriate boundary conditions. and in so doing, find the allowed angular momenta and energies for solutions of this form.

  1. What are the initial and final energy levels for the third (i.e., third-longest wavelength) line in the Paschen series? (See Figure 7.5)
  2. Determine the wavelength of this line.

An electron is trapped in a quantum dot, in which it is continued to a very small region in all three dimensions, If the lowest energy transition is to produce a photon of 450nm wavelength, what should be the width of the well (assumed cubic)?
