Problem set 21

  1. Four charges (two +q and two -q) are kept fixed at the four vertices of a square of side a as shown
    At the point P which is at a distance R from the centre ( R > > a), the potential is proportional to
    1. 1/R
    2. 1/R^2
    3. 1/R^3
    4. 1/R^4
  2. A point charge q of mass m is kept at a distance d below a grounded infinite conducting sheet which lies in the xy-plane. For what value of d will the charge remains stationary?
    1. q/4\sqrt{mg\pi\epsilon_0}
    2. q/\sqrt{mg\pi\epsilon_0}
    3. There is no finite value of d
    4. \sqrt{mg\pi\epsilon_0}/q
  3. The wave function of a state of the hydrogen atom is given by {\scriptstyle\Psi=\psi_{200}+2\psi_{211}+3\psi_{210}+\sqrt{2}\psi_{21-1}}, where \psi_{nlm} is the normalized eigenfunction of the state with quantum numbers n,l and m in the usual notation. The expectation value of L_z in the state \Psi is
    1. 15\hbar/16
    2. 11\hbar/16
    3. 3\hbar/8
    4. \hbar/8
  4. The energy eigenvalues of a particle in the potential V(x) =\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2-ax are
    1. E_n=\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)\hbar\omega-\frac{a^2}{2m\omega^2}
    2. E_n=\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)\hbar\omega+\frac{a^2}{2m\omega^2}

    4. E_n=\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)\hbar\omega
  5. If a particle is represented by the normalized wave function \begin{align*} \psi(x)=\begin{cases}\frac{\sqrt{15}\left(a^2-x^2\right)}{4a^{5/2}}&{\scriptstyle\text{for} -a < x < a}\\ 0 &\text{otherwise} \end{cases} \end{align*} the uncertainty \Delta p in its momentum is
    1. 2\hbar/5a
    2. 5\hbar/2a
    3. \sqrt{10}\hbar/a
    4. \sqrt{5}\hbar/\sqrt{2}a
