Imagine two classical charges of -q, each bound to a central charge of. +q One -q charge is in a circular orbit of radius R about its +q charge. The other oscillates in an extreme ellipse, essentially a straight line from it鈥檚 +q charge out to a maximum distance rmax.The two orbits have the same energy. (a) Show thatrmax=2r. (b) Considering the time spent at each orbit radius, in which orbit is the -q charge farther from its +q charge on average?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The radius can鈥檛 be more thanrmax=2R

b) In the ellipse orbit, the electron will be farther from its +q charge.

Step by step solution

01

 Given data

Two -q charges revolve around +q charge.

One -q charge is in a circular orbit and the other -q is oscillate in an extreme ellipse.

Charge both circular and ellipse orbits have the same energy.

02

Concept  

The electron whose orbit is in the shape of an extreme ellipse moves faster when it is close to the positive charge whereas it slows down when reaches the farther region of the orbit, from the central charge.

03

 Solution

For the charge that is moving in a circular orbit, the potential energy is given by

PE=-e240R

The circular orbit gives,

e240R=mv2R

Rearranging the above equation formv2

mv2=e240R

The kinetic energy is then given as-

KE=12mv2=12e240R

The total energy is then given as-

E=PE+KE=-12e240R

For the extreme ellipse orbit, the max radius happens when potential energy equals total energy.

-e240R=-12e240Rr=2R

Hence, proved. The radius can't be more thanrmax=2R.

b)

In case of the circular orbit, the motion of the 鈥搎 charge is uniform about the same distance from the central charge. To keep it simple, though, we will approximate the orbital motion along the extreme ellipse to be a (1-dimensional) radial oscillation about the central charge.

As the -q charge executes its simple harmonic motion along the radial direction, its speed changes, so the time it spends in each part of the path accordingly.

The probability density of finding the oscillating charge at a distance r from the central charge (located at r = 0) takes the form

Pr=-2xrmax2-r

The probability of finding the oscillating charge in the region between rmax2and rmaxis the integral

Prmax2<r<rmax=rmax2rmaxprdr

Substituting for P(r) and using the proper trigonometric substitution, we find

Prmax2<r<rmax=2rmax2rmaxprdr=2sin-1rrmaxrmax2rmax=22-6=23

Therefore, the negative charge, in the circular orbit, spends all of its time at a fixed radial distance R=rmax/2from the central charge. it is clear that in the elliptical orbit, 鈥搎 charge will be, on average, farther from its central positive charge.

Residents of flatworld-a two-dimensional world far, far away-have it easy. Although quantum mechanics of course applies in their world, the equations they must solve to understand atomic energy levels involve only two dimensions. In particular, the Schrodinger equation for the one-electron flatrogen atom is

-h2m1rr(rr)(r,)-h2m1r222(r,)+U(r)(r,)=E(r,)

(a) Separate variables by trying a solution of the form (r,)=R(r)(), then dividing byR(r)() . Show that the equation can be written

d2d2()=C()

Here,(C) is the separation constant.

(b) To be physically acceptable,() must be continuous, which, since it involves rotation about an axis, means that it must be periodic. What must be the sign of C ?

(c) Show that a complex exponential is an acceptable solution for() .

(d) Imposing the periodicity condition find allowed values ofC .

(e) What property is quantized according of C .

(f) Obtain the radial equation.

(g) Given thatU(r)=-b/r , show that a function of the formR(r)=er/a is a solution but only if C certain one of it, allowed values.

(h) Determine the value of a , and thus find the ground-state energy and wave function of flatrogen atom.

For an electron in the(n,l,ml)=(2,0,0) state in a hydrogen atom, (a) write the solution of the time-independent Schrodinger equation,

(b) verify explicitly that it is a solution with the expected angular momentum and energy.

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

For the more circular orbits, =n-1and

P(r)r2ne-2r/na0

localid="1660047077408" (2na0)2n+11(2n)!

b) Show that the expectation value of the radius is given by

r=n(n+12)a0

and the uncertainty by

r=na0n2+14

c) What happens to the ratior/rin the limit of large n? Is this large-n limit what would be expected classically?

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?
