Note1: in the following text wherever h appears it should be treated and read as h(cross) = h/2
Note 2: Normally I am allowed to answer 4 sub-parts only per question. However,for your convienience I have answered (e) part also
Laplacian is given to be
a. Schrodinger Equation is
In this potential is zero everywhere and r is a constant
where
b. here m' is used to distinguish from m
If we substitute in our Schrodinger equation
+
Thus above solution satisfies for specific values of m' such that
c. Since particle moves in a circle,the wave function must satisfy the condition
where m' = (+/-) 1,( +/-) 2 .........................
d. For normalizing
e.
Thus energy is quantized and hence can take states where m' = (+/-) 1 , (+/-) 2 ..................
21. For a particle of mass, m, moving along a circular path in the xy plane...
A system consists of two particles of mass mi and m2 interacting with an interaction potential V(r) that depends only on the relative distancer- Iri-r2l between the particles, where r- (ri,/i,21) and r2 22,ひ2,22 are the coordinates of the two particles in three dimensions (3D) (a) /3 pointsl Show that for such an interaction potential, the Hamiltonian of the system H- am▽ri _ 2m2 ▽22 + V(r) can be, put in the form 2M where ▽ and ▽ are the...
8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...
2. Consider a mass m moving in R3 without friction. It is fasten tightly at one end of a string with length 1 and can swing in any direction. In fact, it moves on a sphere, a subspace of R3 1 0 φ g 2.1 Use the spherical coordinates (1,0,) to derive the Lagrangian L(0,0,0,0) = T-U, namely the difference of kinetic energy T and potential energy U. (Note r = 1 is fixed.) 2.2 Calculate the Euler-Lagrange equations, namely...
