Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The Schrodinger equation for the one-electron flatrogen atom is

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

02

Separates the variables and show the equation in terms θ .  

(a)

Separates the variables of the Schrodinger equation for the one-electron flatrogen atom.

-h2m1rr(rr)(r,)-h2m1r222(r,)+U(r)(r,)=E(r,)h2m1r222(r,)=-h2m1rr(rr)+Ur-E(r,)22(r,)=2mr2h-h2m1rr(rr)+Ur-E(r,)22(r,)=-rrrr-2mr2hE-Ur(r,)

Substitute Rrfor r,into above equation.

22Rr=-rrrr-2mr2hE-UrRr22Rr=-rrrrRr-2mr2hE-UrRrRr22=-rrrrRr-2mr2hE-UrRr

Divide the above equation by.

role="math" localid="1660042716100" RrRr22=-rRrrrrRr-2mr2hE-UrRrRr122=-rRrrrrRr-2mr2hE-Ur............i

From the above equation, variables r and is separated on either side of the equation alone, leading deduction that both the sides must equal to constant, which is C ,

1d2d2=Cd2d2=C.....ii 鈥︹. (ii)

Hence the required equationd2d2=C is proved.

03

Determine the sign of the constant C .

(b)

The solution of equation (i) depends on the sign of the constant C . If the sign of the constant C is positive then the solution of an equation must be non-periodic and real exponential. But if the sign of the constant is negative, then the solution of the equation must be periodic of the complex exponential. Therefore, the sign of C should be negative.

Hence the sign of C is negative.

04

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

(c)

It is proved that the sign of the constant is negative in part (b).

Rewrite the equation (1).

d2d2=-C 鈥︹ (iii)

Let assume the angular solution has the complex exponential that therefore,=ei for the real scalar .

2=-C2=-C=C

Hence the complex exponential of the formeiC is acceptable solution for .

05

find allowed values of C .

(d)

The function is said to be periodic when full rotation about the polar axis brings the same value of .

Therefore, the periodic condition is=+2 .

eiC+2=eiC2C=2蟺尘m=01,2,.....

From the above, the allowed values of C arem=01,2,.... that isC=0,-1,-4,.... .

Hence, the allowed values ofC are C=0,-1,-4,......

06

What property is quantized according of C .

(e)

The z component of the angular momentum is in the cylindrical coordinates is given by,

Lz=-ih

Thus, the solution is given by,

Lz=-iheiCLz=-hC

The angular momentumLz=hC, withC=0,1,2,...... .

The above discussion tells us that property quantized according to the value C is component of angular momentum.

07

determine the radial equation.

(f)

Determine the radial equation by substituting the left side of the equation (i) to C .

-rRrrrrRr-2mr2hE-Ur=CrrrrRr+2mr2hE-Ur+CRr=0........iv

Hence the radial equation isrrrrRr+2mr2hE-Ur+CRr=0 .

08

show that a function of the form R(r)=er/a is a solution.

(g)

Given that Ur=-b/r

Recall the equation (iv),

rrrrRr+2mr2hE-Ur+CRr=0

Substitute -b/rfor Urinto above equation.

rrrrRr+2mr2hE--br+CRr=0rrrrRr+2mr2hE+br+CRr=0.......v

The term rrrRrcan be calculated as,

rrrRr=rrre-r/arrrRr=-rrae-r/arrrRr=-1a+ra2Rr

Substitute -1a+ra2Rrfor rrrRrinto equation (v).

r-1a+ra2Rr+2mr2hE+br+CRr=01a2+2mEhr2+-1a+2mrh2r+CRr=0......vi

From the above discussion, R(r) is the solution under some requirement and c = 0 is the one of them.

09

Determine the value of , ground-state energy and wave function of flatrogen atom.

(h)

Since the C = 0 is the required condition for R(r) to be solution.

Substitute 0 for C into the equation (vi).

1a2+2mEh2r2+-1a+2mbh2r+0Rr=01a2+2mEh2r2+-1a+2mbh2rRr=0

The other requirement to satisfy the R(r) into above equation are 1a=2mbh2and -1a2=2mEh2.

Now the value of the is given by,

1a=2mbh2a=h22mb......vii

The allowed energy is given by,

localid="1660046666625" -1a2=2mEh2E=h22ma2

Substitute localid="1660046671256" h22mbfor into above equation.

localid="1660046660072" E=h22mh22mb2E=4m2b2h22mh2E=-2mb2h2........viii

From the equation (vii) and (viii), the required value of C is 0 . It follows the ground state wave function,

localid="1660046678252" 0r,=R000r,=Ae-2mbr/h2

Here, A is the normalization constant.

Hence the value of a is localid="1660046691263" h22mb, the ground state energy islocalid="1660046684817" -2mbh2and eave wave function of flatrogen atom isAe-2mbr/h2.
