Q. 26

Page 1175

Suppose that 1(x)and 2(x)are both solutions to the Schr枚dinger equation for the same potential energy U(x). Prove that the superposition (x)=础蠄1(x)+叠蠄2(x)is also a solution to the Schr枚dinger equation.

a. Estimate the particle鈥檚 quantum number.

b. Use the correspondence principle to determine whether quantum mechanics is needed to understand the particle鈥檚 motion or if it is 鈥渟afe鈥 to use classical physics.

Figure 40.27a modeled a hydrogen atom as a finite potential well with rectangular edges. A more realistic model of a hydrogen atom, although still a one-dimensional model, would be the electron + proton electrostatic potential energy in one dimension:

U(x)=-e24蟺蔚0x

a. Draw a graph of U(x) versus x. Center your graph at x=0.

b. Despite the divergence at x=0, the Schr枚dinger equation can be solved to find energy levels and wave functions for the electron in this potential. Draw a horizontal line across your graph of part a about one-third of the way from the bottom to the top. Label this line E2, then, on this line, sketch a plausible graph of the n=2wave function.

c. Redraw your graph of part a and add a horizontal line about two-thirds of the way from the bottom to the top. Label this line E3, then, on this line, sketch a plausible graph of the n=3 wave function.

Model an atom as an electron in a rigid box of length 0.100nm, roughly twice the Bohr radius.

a. What are the four lowest energy levels of the electron?

b. Calculate all the wavelengths that would be seen in the emission spectrum of this atom due to quantum jumps between these four energy levels. Give each wavelength a label nmto indicate the transition.

c. Are these wavelengths in the infrared, visible, or ultraviolet portion of the spectrum?

d. The stationary states of the Bohr hydrogen atom have negative energies. The stationary states of this model of the atom have positive energies. Is this a physically significant difference? Explain.

e. Compare this model of an atom to the Bohr hydrogen atom. In what ways are the two models similar? Other than the signs of the energy levels, in what ways are they different?
