Based on the trend shown in Figure 11.5, draw the probability distribution of a harmonic oscillator wavefunction that has a very high value of n. Explain how this is consistent with the correspondence principle.
Using Table 5.2, write down the mathematical expression for the 2px wave function for an electronically excited H atom. Estimate the probability of finding the 2px electron if you look in a cubical box of volume of 0.8(pm)3 centered at a distance of 0.5001010m in the =/2 , =0 direction. Does this probability change as you change ? At what angles is the probability of finding the electron smallest and at what angles is the probability the largest? (Note that =2 is the same location as =0 , so don’t double count.)
A particle of mass m is placed in a three-dimensional rectangular box with edge lengths 2L, L, and L. Inside the box the potential energy is zero, and outside it is infinite; therefore, the wave function goes smoothly to zero at the sides of the box. Calculate the energies and give the quantum numbers of the ground state and the first five excited states (or sets of states of equal energy) for the particle in the box.

Estimate the probability of finding an electron which is excited into the 2s orbital of the H atom, looking in a cubical box of volume 0.751036m3 centered at the nucleus. Then estimate the probability of finding the electron if you move the volume searched to a distance of 105.8 pm from the nucleus in the positive z direction. (Note that since these volumes are small, it does not matter whether the volume searched is cubical or spherical.)
The maximum in the blackbody radiation intensity curve moves to shorter wavelength as temperature increases. The German physicist Wilhelm Wien demonstrated the relation to be max1/T . Later, Planck’s equation showed the maximum to be max=0.20hc/kt . In 1965, scientists researching problems in telecommunication discovered “background radiation” with maximum wavelength 1.05 mm (microwave region of the EM spectrum) throughout space. Estimate the temperature of space.
The energies of macroscopic objects, as well as those of microscopic objects, are quantized, but the effects of the quantization are not seen because the difference in energy between adjacent states is so small. Apply Bohr’s quantization of angular momentum to the revolution of Earth (mass6.01024kg) , which moves with a speed of 3.0104ms1 in a circular orbit (radius1.51011m) about the sun. The sun can be treated as fixed. Calculate the value of the quantum number n for the present state of the Earthsun system. What would be the effect of an increase in n by 1?
(a) Using Equation 4.36, make a graph of the n=3 wave function and the square of this wave function for a particle in a box with the edges at x=0 and x=7 . Estimate the probability of finding the particle between x1=3 and x2=4 . You may either do an integral or find the area under the curve by counting the number of rectangular boxes (roughly estimating the fractional boxes), and then multiply by the area of each box, watching your units. Show your calculation with units for credit. (b) Verify that the n=3 wave function in (a) is an allowed quantum state (sometimes called an eigenfunction) of by substituting it for in the left side of the equation =E immediately following Eq. 4.32. Calculate the derivatives to see if your result E is a constant multiplied by the original n=3 wavefunction. What does the constant you get tell you about the energy of thiseigenstate? Is it in agreement with the energy for the n=3 level you would calculate from Equation 4.37?

Chapter 3 introduced the concept of a double bond between carbon atoms, represented by C=C , with a length near 1.34 Å. The motion of an electron in such a bond can be treated crudely as motion in a one-dimensional box. Calculate the energy of an electron in each of its three lowest allowed states if it is confined to move in a one-dimensional box of length 1.34 Å. Calculate the wavelength of light necessary to excite the electron from its ground state to the first excited state.
