Schrödinger Equation)
Lecture 37 (Schrödinger Equation) Physics 2310-01 Spring 2020 Douglas Fields Reduced Mass • OK, so the Bohr model of the atom gives energy levels: • But, this has one problem – it was developed assuming the acceleration of the electron was given as an object revolving around a fixed point. • In fact, the proton is also free to move. • The acceleration of the electron must then take this into account. • Since we know from Newton’s third law that: • If we want to relate the real acceleration of the electron to the force on the electron, we have to take into account the motion of the proton too. Reduced Mass • So, the relative acceleration of the electron to the proton is just: • Then, the force relation becomes: • And the energy levels become: Reduced Mass • The reduced mass is close to the electron mass, but the 0.0054% difference is measurable in hydrogen and important in the energy levels of muonium (a hydrogen atom with a muon instead of an electron) since the muon mass is 200 times heavier than the electron. • Or, in general: Hydrogen-like atoms • For single electron atoms with more than one proton in the nucleus, we can use the Bohr energy levels with a minor change: e4 → Z2e4. • For instance, for He+ , Uncertainty Revisited • Let’s go back to the wave function for a travelling plane wave: • Notice that we derived an uncertainty relationship between k and x that ended being an uncertainty relation between p and x (since p=ћk): Uncertainty Revisited • Well it turns out that the same relation holds for ω and t, and therefore for E and t: • We see this playing an important role in the lifetime of excited states. -
Quantum Theory of the Hydrogen Atom
Quantum Theory of the Hydrogen Atom Chemistry 35 Fall 2000 Balmer and the Hydrogen Spectrum n 1885: Johann Balmer, a Swiss schoolteacher, empirically deduced a formula which predicted the wavelengths of emission for Hydrogen: l (in Å) = 3645.6 x n2 for n = 3, 4, 5, 6 n2 -4 •Predicts the wavelengths of the 4 visible emission lines from Hydrogen (which are called the Balmer Series) •Implies that there is some underlying order in the atom that results in this deceptively simple equation. 2 1 The Bohr Atom n 1913: Niels Bohr uses quantum theory to explain the origin of the line spectrum of hydrogen 1. The electron in a hydrogen atom can exist only in discrete orbits 2. The orbits are circular paths about the nucleus at varying radii 3. Each orbit corresponds to a particular energy 4. Orbit energies increase with increasing radii 5. The lowest energy orbit is called the ground state 6. After absorbing energy, the e- jumps to a higher energy orbit (an excited state) 7. When the e- drops down to a lower energy orbit, the energy lost can be given off as a quantum of light 8. The energy of the photon emitted is equal to the difference in energies of the two orbits involved 3 Mohr Bohr n Mathematically, Bohr equated the two forces acting on the orbiting electron: coulombic attraction = centrifugal accelleration 2 2 2 -(Z/4peo)(e /r ) = m(v /r) n Rearranging and making the wild assumption: mvr = n(h/2p) n e- angular momentum can only have certain quantified values in whole multiples of h/2p 4 2 Hydrogen Energy Levels n Based on this model, Bohr arrived at a simple equation to calculate the electron energy levels in hydrogen: 2 En = -RH(1/n ) for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, . -

Bohr Model of Hydrogen
Chapter 3 Bohr model of hydrogen Figure 3.1: Democritus The atomic theory of matter has a long history, in some ways all the way back to the ancient Greeks (Democritus - ca. 400 BCE - suggested that all things are composed of indivisible \atoms"). From what we can observe, atoms have certain properties and behaviors, which can be summarized as follows: Atoms are small, with diameters on the order of 0:1 nm. Atoms are stable, they do not spontaneously break apart into smaller pieces or collapse. Atoms contain negatively charged electrons, but are electrically neutral. Atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Any successful model of atoms must be capable of describing these observed properties. 1 (a) Isaac Newton (b) Joseph von Fraunhofer (c) Gustav Robert Kirch- hoff 3.1 Atomic spectra Even though the spectral nature of light is present in a rainbow, it was not until 1666 that Isaac Newton showed that white light from the sun is com- posed of a continuum of colors (frequencies). Newton introduced the term \spectrum" to describe this phenomenon. His method to measure the spec- trum of light consisted of a small aperture to define a point source of light, a lens to collimate this into a beam of light, a glass spectrum to disperse the colors and a screen on which to observe the resulting spectrum. This is indeed quite close to a modern spectrometer! Newton's analysis was the beginning of the science of spectroscopy (the study of the frequency distri- bution of light from different sources). The first observation of the discrete nature of emission and absorption from atomic systems was made by Joseph Fraunhofer in 1814. -
Particle Nature of Matter
Solved Problems on the Particle Nature of Matter Charles Asman, Adam Monahan and Malcolm McMillan Department of Physics and Astronomy University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Fall 1999; revised 2011 by Malcolm McMillan Given here are solutions to 5 problems on the particle nature of matter. The solutions were used as a learning-tool for students in the introductory undergraduate course Physics 200 Relativity and Quanta given by Malcolm McMillan at UBC during the 1998 and 1999 Winter Sessions. The solutions were prepared in collaboration with Charles Asman and Adam Monaham who were graduate students in the Department of Physics at the time. The problems are from Chapter 3 The Particle Nature of Matter of the course text Modern Physics by Raymond A. Serway, Clement J. Moses and Curt A. Moyer, Saunders College Publishing, 2nd ed., (1997). Coulomb's Constant and the Elementary Charge When solving numerical problems on the particle nature of matter it is useful to note that the product of Coulomb's constant k = 8:9876 × 109 m2= C2 (1) and the square of the elementary charge e = 1:6022 × 10−19 C (2) is ke2 = 1:4400 eV nm = 1:4400 keV pm = 1:4400 MeV fm (3) where eV = 1:6022 × 10−19 J (4) Breakdown of the Rutherford Scattering Formula: Radius of a Nucleus Problem 3.9, page 39 It is observed that α particles with kinetic energies of 13.9 MeV or higher, incident on copper foils, do not obey Rutherford's (sin φ/2)−4 scattering formula. • Use this observation to estimate the radius of the nucleus of a copper atom. -

Note to 8.13 Students
Note to 8.13 students: Feel free to look at this paper for some suggestions about the lab, but please reference/acknowledge me as if you had read my report or spoken to me in person. Also note that this is only one way to do the lab and data analysis, and there are nearly an infinite number of other things to do that would be better. I made some mistakes doing this lab. Here are a couple I found (and some more tips): Use a smaller step and get more precise data than what we had. Then fit • a curve, don’t just pick out a peak. The Hg calibration is actually something like a sin wave instead of a cubic. • Also don’t follow the old version of Melissionos word for word. They use an optical system with a prism oppose to a diffraction grating. We took data strategically so we could use unweighted fits • The mystery tube was actually N, whoops my bad. We later found a • drawer full of tubes and compared the colors. It was obviously N. Again whoops, it was our first experiment okay?! 1 Optical Spectroscopy Rachel Bowens-Rubin∗ MIT Department of Physics (Dated: July 12, 2010) The spectra of mercury, hydrogen, deuterium, sodium, and an unidentified mystery tube were measured using a monochromator to determine diffrent properties of their spectra. The spectrum of mercury was used to calibrate for error due to optics in the monochronomator. The measurements of the Balmer series lines were used to determine the Rydberg constants for hydrogen and deuterium, 7 7 1 7 7 1 Rh =1.0966 10 0.0002 10 m− and Rd=1.0970 10 0.0003 10 m− . -
