- In exercise 10.41a, the wavefunction is not normalized. Normalize the wavefunction and verify that it still satisfies the Schrdinger equation. The limits on x are 0 and 2. How does the expression for the energy eigenvalue differ?arrow_forwardA particle on a ring has a wavefunction =eim, where =0to2 and m is a constant. a Normalize the wavefunction, where d is d. How does the normalization constant depend on the constant m? b What is the probability that the particle is in the ring indicated by the angular range =0to2/3? Does this answer make sense? How does the probability depend on constant m?arrow_forwardShow that the normalization constants for the general form of the wavefunction =sin(nx/a) are the same and do not depend on the quantum number n.arrow_forward
- Is the uncertainty principle consistent with our description of the wavefunctions of the 1D particle-in-a-box? Hint: Remember that position is not an eigenvalue operator for the particle-in-a-box wavefunctions.arrow_forwardThe de Broglie equation for a particle can be applied to an electron orbiting a nucleus if one assumes that the electron must have an exact integral number of wavelengths as it covers the circumference of the orbit having radius r:n=2r. From this, derive Bohrs quantized angular momentum postulate.arrow_forwardAn electron is confined to a box of dimensions 2A3A5A. Determine the wavefunctions for the five lowest energy states.arrow_forward
- The uncertainty principle is related to the order of the two operators operating on a wavefunction. Evaluate the expressions x (pxsinx) and px( x sinx) and demonstrate that you get different results.arrow_forwardWhat is the numerical value of the total angular momentum of an electron in an f subshell of an H atom? What is it for an f electron in Li2+?arrow_forwardState whether the following functions are acceptable wavefunctions over the range given. If they are not, explain why not. a=ex2,x+ bF(x)=sin4x,x cx=y2,x0 dThe function that looks like this: eThe function that looks like this:arrow_forward
- Explain why no lines in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom spectrum have wavenumbers larger than about 27,434cm1. This is called the series limit.arrow_forwardInstead of x=0 to a, assume that the limits on the 1-D box were x=+(a/2) to (a/2). Derive acceptable wavefunction for this particle-in-a-box. You may have to consult an integral table to determine the normalization constant. What are the quantized energies for the particle?arrow_forwardThe normalized wave function for a particle in a one-dimensional box in which the potential energy is zero is (x)=2/Lsin(nx/L) , where L is the length of the box (with the left wall at x=0 ). What is the probability that the particle will lie between x=0 and x=L/4 if the particle is in its n=2 state?arrow_forward
