Answer to Problem 41P

The probability of finding the electron in the region between r and r+Δr is 9.20×104 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The value of Δr is 0.02ao .

The value of r is ao .

The value of n is 2 .

The value of l is 0 .

The value of ml is 0 .

Formula used:

The expression for probabilityis given by,

  P=P(r)Δr

The expression for P(r) is given by,

  P(r)=4πr2|ψ|2

The expression for ψ at n=2 is given by,

  ψ=C(2Zrao)eZr/2ao

The expression for C at n=2 is given by,

  C=142π(Z a o )3/2

Calculation:

The probability is calculated as,

  P=P(r)Δr=4πr2|ψ|2Δr=4πr2|C( 2 Zr a o )e Zr/ 2 a o |2×0.02ao=0.08πaor2(2 Zr a o )2eZr/ a o|1 4 2π ( Z a o ) 3/2 |2

Solving further as,

  P=0.08πaor2(2 Zr a o )2eZr/ a o|1 4 2π ( Z a o ) 3/2 |2=0.0025aor2(2 Zr a o )2eZr/ a o( Z a o )3

For r=ao and Z=1 the above expression is,

  P=0.0025aor2(2 Zr a o )2eZr/ a o( Z a o )3=0.0025ao( a o)2(2 a o a o )2e a o/ a o( 1 a o )3=9.2×104

Conclusion:

Therefore, the probability of finding the electron in the region between r and r+Δr is 9.20×104 .

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you
A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
