Chapter 4, Problem 41P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wave function ψ12(x,y) for a particle in square box should be written and should have convinced it is degenerate with ψ21(x,y)

Concept introduction:

The function which describes the position of an electron and quantum state of an isolated quantum system is known as wave function.

The general formula of the wave function for a particle in a square box is:

  ψnxny(x,y)=2Lsin(nxπxL)sin(nyπyL)

Where, ψnxny(x,y) is wave function and nx,ny have values 1, 2, 3 etc.

L = length of the box.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It should be convinced that plot of ψ12(x,y) are same as ψ21(x,y) rotated by 90 degrees in the x-y plane.

Concept introduction:

The function which describes the position of an electron and quantum state of an isolated quantum system is known as wave function.

The general formula of the wave function for a particle in a square box is:

  ψnxny(x,y)=2Lsin(nxπxL)sin(nyπyL)

Where, ψnxny(x,y) is wave function and nx,ny have values 1, 2, 3 etc.

L = length of the box.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason should be explained physically for the relation of two sets of plots.

Concept introduction:
