Let aand bbe two constant vectors. Show that

(a.r)(b.r)sinθdθdϕ=4π3(a.b)

(the integration is over the usual range:0<θ<π,0<ϕ<2π). Use this result to demonstrate that

(3Sp.rSe.r-Sp.Ser3)=0

For states with I=0. Hint:r=sinθcosϕi+sinθsinϕΦ+cosθk.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of vectors.

Geometrical entities with magnitude and direction are known as vectors. A vector is represented as a line with an arrow pointing in the direction of the vector, and the length of the line denotes the vector's magnitude. As a result, vectors are represented by arrows and have two points: a beginning point and a terminal point.

Step2: Structural isomers of carboxylic acids.

To prove following relation:

a.rb.rsinϑdϑdφ=4π3a.b

It is known that:

a.r=axsinϑcosφ+aysinϑsinφ+azcosϑI=axsinϑcosφ+aysinϑsinφ+azcosϑbxsinϑcosφ+bysinϑsinφ+bzcosϑsinϑdϑdφ02πsinφdφ=02πcosφdφ=02πsinφcosφdφ=0I=axbxsin2ϑcos2φ+aybysin2ϑsin2φ+azbzcos2ϑsinϑdϑdφ

But

But

So,

Question: In a crystal, the electric field of neighbouring ions perturbs the energy levels of an atom. As a crude model, imagine that a hydrogen atom is surrounded by three pairs of point charges, as shown in Figure 6.15. (Spin is irrelevant to this problem, so ignore it.)

(a) Assuming that rd1,rd2,rd3show that

H'=V0+3(β1x2+β2y2+β3z2)-(β1+β2+β3)r2

where

βi-e4πε0qidi3,andV0=2(β1d12+β2d22+β3d32)

(b) Find the lowest-order correction to the ground state energy.

(c) Calculate the first-order corrections to the energy of the first excited states Into how many levels does this four-fold degenerate system split,

(i) in the case of cubic symmetryβ1=β2=β3;, (ii) in the case of tetragonal symmetryβ1=β2β3;, (iii) in the general case of orthorhombic symmetry (all three different)?

Work out the matrix elements of HZ'andHfs'construct the W matrix given in the text, for n = 2.

Suppose the Hamiltonian H, for a particular quantum system, is a function of some parameter λlet En(λ)and ψn(λ)be the eigen values and

Eigen functions of. The Feynman-Hellmann theorem22states that

Enλ=(ψnHλψn)

(Assuming either that Enis nondegenerate, or-if degenerate-that the ψn's are the "good" linear combinations of the degenerate Eigen functions).

(a) Prove the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. Hint: Use Equation 6.9.

(b) Apply it to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator,(i)using λ=ω(this yields a formula for the expectation value of V), (II)using λ=ħ(this yields (T)),and (iii)using λ=m(this yields a relation between (T)and (V)). Compare your answers to Problem 2.12, and the virial theorem predictions (Problem 3.31).

Find the (lowest order) relativistic correction to the energy levels of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Hint: Use the technique in Example 2.5 .

Question: In Problem 4.43you calculated the expectation value ofrsin the stateψ321. Check your answer for the special cases s = 0(trivial), s = -1(Equation 6.55), s = -2(Equation 6.56), and s = -3(Equation 6.64). Comment on the case s = -7.
