HINTS AND TIPSfor PHYM422 exam (2011)
1. According to selection rules, the only non-zero matrix elements of thedipole moment is the one between l = 0 and l = 1, m = 0 states. Thematrix element can be found directly, and is equal to eER/
√3. The analysis
is applicable when δE ≪ ∆E = h̄2/mR2.2. The density of states in three dimensions is proportional to the finalmomentum; the latter is determined by the energy conservation, Ef = Ei +h̄ω. The threshold is determined by the condition Ef > 0. The transitionmatrix element vanishes at p = 0 by symmetry x → −x. Therefore, thetransition rate is proportional to p2fg(pf) ∝ p3f ∝ (ω − ωthr)3/2.3.(i) The states can be separated into two non-interacting pairs, (14) and(23). For each pair, the characteristic equation is solved trivially, which givesenergy levels −4A, 2A for (14) pair, and 0, 2A for the second pair. Note thatthe 2A level is doubly degenerate.3.(ii) For the S=0 state, both particles can be placed into single-particleground state, n = 1, which gives the energy 2E1. For the S = 1 state, theminimal energy is E1 + E2. The wave functions have the standard form.For S = 1 state, there are three different wave functions, correspondingto S1 = −1, 0, 1, all being symmetric with respect to a permutation of twospins.4. The integration is achieved by introducing the change of variable u = qr.The angular distribution of the scattered particles is isotropic at low energies,and exhibits forward scattering peak at high energies. Therefore, angularintegration in the low-energy case is trivial, and amounts to multiplicationby 4π.
