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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is proved thatRr is the solution of the Schrodinger equation, angular momentum isL=0 and energy isE=h2n222ma2 .

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The equation 7.30 is given by,

-h22m1r2ddrr2ddrRr+h2ll+l2mr2Rr+UrRr-ERr=0

The potential energy,U=0r<a+r>a

02

show that the solution of the potential energy is R(r)=Asinbr/r and calculate the angular momentum and energies solution.

Consider the equation 7.30,

-h22m1r2ddr(r2ddr)R(r)+h2l(l+l)2mr2R(r)+U(r)+R(r)-ER(r)=0

Since the potential energy is 0 for r<a. Therefore, the equation can be written as,

role="math" localid="1660024455548" -h22m1r2ddr(r2ddr)R(r)+h2l(l+l)2mr2R(r)+U(r)+R(r)-ER(r)=0-h22m1r2ddr(r2ddr)R(r)+h2l(l+l)2mr2R(r)-ER(r)=0....(i)

The term of the above equation ddrr2ddrRrcan be calculated as,

ddrr2ddrRr=ddrr2ddrAsinbrrddrr2ddrRr=Addrr2ddrr-1sinbrddrr2ddrRr=Addrbrcosbr-sinbrddrr2ddrRr=-Ab2rsinbr

Solve further as,

ddrr2ddrRr=-b2r2Asinbrrddrr2ddrRr=-b2r2Rr

substitute b2r2Rrfor ddrr2ddrRrinto equation (i),

-h22m1r2-b2r2Rr+h2ll+l2mr2Rr-ERr=0h22m1r2b2r2+h2ll+l2mr2-ERr=0h2b22m+h2ll+l2mr2-ERr=0

Since the R(r) doesn鈥檛 equal zero. So, L.H.S is equal to zero if l=0,-1.

E=h2b22m 鈥︹. (ii)

By restricting the value of the l, the expression for the angular momentum is L=hll+l=0.

By imposition the boundary condition, atr=a,Ra=0

R0=Asinbar0=Aasinab0=sinabn=ab

Solve further as,

b=na Where n=0,1,2,....

Substitute nafor b into equation (ii).

E=h22mna2E=h2n222ma2

Hence it is proved that R(r) is the solution of the Schrodinger equation, angular momentum is L = 0 and energy isE=h2n222ma2 .

Mathematically equation (7-22) is the same differential equation as we had for a particle in a box-the function and its second derivative are proportional. But()for m1= 0is a constant and is allowed, whereas such a constant wave function is not allowed for a particle in a box. What physics accounts for this difference?

In section 7.5,eimlis presented a sour preferred solution to the azimuthal equation, but there is more general one that need not violate the smoothness condition, and that in fact covers not only complex exponentials but also suitable redelinitions of multiplicative constants, sine, and cosine,

m1()=Ae+iml+Be+iml

(a) Show that the complex square of this function is not, in general, independent of .

(b) What conditions must be met by A and/or B for the probability density to be rotationally symmetric 鈥 that is, independent of ?

Roughly, how does the size of a triply ionized beryllium ion compare with hydrogen?

When applying quantum mechanics, we often concentrate on states that qualify as 鈥渙rthonormal鈥, The main point is this. If we evaluate a probability integral over all space of 1*1or of 2*2, we get 1 (unsurprisingly), but if we evaluate such an integral for1*2or2*1 we get 0. This happens to be true for all systems where we have tabulated or actually derived sets of wave functions (e.g., the particle in a box, the harmonic oscillator, and the hydrogen atom). By integrating overall space, show that expression (7-44) is not normalized unless a factor of 1/2is included with the probability.
