41장, 문제 18a

A hydrogen atom is in a $d$ state. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the states with different $m_{l}$ values have (approximately) the same energy. Consider the interaction of the magnetic field with the atom's orbital magnetic dipole moment. Calculate the splitting (in electron volts) of the ml levels when the atom is put in a $0.800$ T magnetic field that is in the $+ z$ -direction

검증된 단계별 안내

Understand the problem: The hydrogen atom is in a d state, meaning the orbital angular momentum quantum number l = 2. The magnetic quantum number ml can take values from -l to +l (i.e., -2, -1, 0, +1, +2). The goal is to calculate the energy splitting of these ml levels when the atom is placed in a magnetic field of 0.800 T along the +z direction.

Recall the formula for the energy shift due to the interaction of the magnetic field with the orbital magnetic dipole moment: ΔE = -μzB, where μz is the z-component of the magnetic dipole moment and B is the magnetic field strength. The z-component of the magnetic dipole moment is given by μz = -mlμB, where μB is the Bohr magneton (μB ≈ 5.788 × 10^-5 eV/T).

Substitute μz = -mlμB into the energy shift formula: ΔE = mlμBB. This shows that the energy shift depends on the value of ml, the Bohr magneton, and the magnetic field strength.

Calculate the energy splitting between adjacent ml levels. The difference in energy between two adjacent ml levels (e.g., ml = -2 and ml = -1) is given by ΔE = μBB. Substitute the given magnetic field strength (B = 0.800 T) and the value of the Bohr magneton (μB ≈ 5.788 × 10^-5 eV/T) into this formula.

Finally, note that the total splitting between the highest ml level (ml = +2) and the lowest ml level (ml = -2) is given by ΔE_total = (ml_high - ml_low)μBB. Substitute ml_high = +2, ml_low = -2, and the values of μB and B to find the total energy splitting.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Orbital Magnetic Dipole Moment

The orbital magnetic dipole moment arises from the motion of electrons in their orbits around the nucleus. It is a vector quantity that depends on the angular momentum of the electron and is given by the formula μ = - (e/2m) L, where e is the electron charge, m is the electron mass, and L is the angular momentum. This moment interacts with external magnetic fields, leading to energy level splitting.

Zeeman Effect

The Zeeman effect describes the splitting of atomic energy levels in the presence of a magnetic field. When an atom is subjected to a magnetic field, the degeneracy of the energy levels associated with different magnetic quantum numbers (ml) is lifted, resulting in distinct energy states. The amount of splitting is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field and the magnetic moment of the atom.

Energy Level Splitting Calculation

To calculate the energy level splitting due to a magnetic field, one can use the formula ΔE = μB, where ΔE is the energy difference between the split levels, μ is the magnetic moment, and B is the magnetic field strength. For a hydrogen atom in a d state, the magnetic moment can be derived from the quantum numbers, and the splitting can be expressed in electron volts by converting the energy difference from joules.

How many different photon wavelengths are observed for the $2 p right arrow 1 s$ transition? What are the $m_{l}$ values for the initial and final states for the transition that leads to each photon wavelength?
