Exercise 81 obtained formulas for hydrogen like atoms in which the nucleus is not assumed infinite, as in the chapter, but is of mass , whileis 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.
Question: Consider an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom. (a) Calculate the expectation value of its potential energy. (b) What is the expectation value of its kinetic energy? (Hint: What is the expectation value of the total energy?)
A mathematical solution of the azimuthal equation (7-22) is , which applies when is negative, (a) Show that this simply cannot meet itself smoothly when it finishes a round trip about the z-axis. The simplest approach is to consider and . (b) If were , equation (7-22) would say simply that the second derivative of is . Argue than this too leads to physically unacceptable solution, except in the special case of being constant, which is covered by the , case of solutions (7-24).
An electron confinedtoa cubic 3D infinite well 1 nu on aside.
Consider a cubic 3D infinite well.
(a) How many different wave functions have the same energy as the one for which ?
(b) Into how many different energy levels would this level split if the length of one side were increased by ?
(c) Make a scale diagram, similar to Figure 3, illustrating the energy splitting of the previously degenerate wave functions.
(d) Is there any degeneracy left? If so, how might it be 鈥渄estroyed鈥?
