Physics 320 Fall (12) 2016 Modern Physics: Problem Set #5 The Bohr Model ("This is all nonsense", von Laue on Bohr's model; "It is one of the greatest discoveries", Einstein on the same).

Bohr model for hydrogen spectrum (identify the region of the spectrum for each λ) 57. Electron speed in the Bohr model for hydrogen [Result: ke 2 /n ] A1. Rotational Spectra: The figure shows a diatomic molecule with bondlength d rotating about its center of mass. According to quantum theory, the € angular momentum ( L = r × p ) of this system is restricted to a discrete set of values (including zero). Using the Bohr quantization condition (L=n), determine the following: d m m € a) The allowed rotational energies of the molecule. [Result: n 2 2 /md 2 ] b) The wavelength of the photon needed to excite the molecule from the n to the n+1 rotational state. [Result: λ=2πcmd 2/(2n+1)] c) The wavelength of the photon need to excite € a nitrogen molecule (N2) from its ground state (n=0) to the n=1 rotational state (for N2, d=0.11 nm). [You can check your result by noting that rotational spectra for small molecules are generally in the microwave region: 0.1mm→10cm]. A2. Spiral death time of an atom (in five easy steps): In Rutherford's planetary model of the atom electrons orbit around a very small massive nucleus. Classically, such an atom will have a finite lifetime due to radiative energy loss of the electrons, causing them to spiral in towards the nucleus. Here we consider the hydrogen atom and assume the electron initially follows a circular orbit of radius ro ≈ 0.05 nm. a) Use the Coulomb force law to show that the electron acceleration is given by ke 2 a= . mr 2 - continued on back - € b) Use the fact that a = v2/r for a circular orbit to show that the total electron energy can be written as ke 2 E =K +V =− . 2r c) An accelerating charge will lose energy due to radiation. Show that this will lead to a decrease in the electron orbital radius described by dr 2r 2 dE € = . dt ke 2 dt d) The power radiated by an accelerating charge is given by the Larmor formula as dE 2kq 2 a 2 P= =− dt 3c 3 € (negative here since the electron loses energy). Insert this into the part (c) result to obtain the following expression: 2 4 ⎛ ke 2 ⎞ € 2 r dr = − ⎜ 2 ⎟ cdt . 3 ⎝ mc ⎠ e) Define t = 0 to be when r = ro. Integrate the above expression from r = ro to r = 0 (left side) and t = 0 to t = T (right side) to show that the "spiral death time" of the Rutherford hydrogen atom is given by€ 2 ro3 ⎛ mc 2 ⎞ T = ⎜ 2 ⎟ . 4c ⎝ ke ⎠ f) Compute a numerical result for T and comment on why most physicists were skeptical of the Rutherford picture of the atom. €
