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.)
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.
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.)
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.
