  1. For a classical electron moving in an orbit around a nucleus with charge $Ze$ obtain a relation between the number of revolutions per second and the energy of the electron. (Use only classical mechanics).
  2. Using known quantum mechanical solution, show that in the limit of large principal quantum number \(n\), the  frequency of the line emitted in a transition from $(n+1)^{\mbox{th}}$ level to the $n^{\mbox{th}}$ level is precisely the same as the frequuency obtained in part \((a)\).

  1. Show that the average value of kinetic energy for a particle in one dimension having the wave function \(\psi(x)\) is \[ \langle \text{K.E.}\rangle = \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\int_{-\infty} ^ \infty |\psi(x)|^2\, dx.\]
  2. Obtain a similar formula for the average of kinetic energy in three dimensions for a particle if the wave function \(\psi(r)\) is independent of polar coordinates \(\theta, \phi\).
  3. Can one write down a similar result for the general case in polar coordinates when the wave fucntion depends on all the three variables \(r,\theta,\phi\)?

The wave function of a particle has the form   \begin{equation*}     \psi(r\theta,\phi) = \chi(r)( A\cos^7\theta + B \cos^3\theta + C \cos2\phi)   \end{equation*}    where \(\chi(r)\) is radial part of the wave function dependent only on \(r\).   A measurement of \(\vec{L}^2\) and \(L_z\) is made. What values do you expect   for \(\vec{L}^2\)? for \(L_z\)?

the following statements correctly describes the degeneracy?\\

  1. Eigen values are non-degenerate just as for the bound states in one dimension.
  2. Continuous eignevalues are doubly degenerate as in some one dimensional problems.
  3. Continuous eignevalues are non-degenerate as in some one dimensional problems.
  4. Infinitely degenerate as is the case for free particle in three dimension.
  5. \label{16007Q2} The degeneracy is $(2l+1)$ as expected for a general spherically symmetric potential in three dimensions.
