Chapter 11, Problem 11.26E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of V for Ψ0 of a harmonic oscillator is to be determined. Whether the obtained value makes sense in comparison to the zero point energy of a harmonic oscillator is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In quantum mechanics, the wavefunction is given by Ψ. The wavefunction contains all the information about the state of the system. The wavefunction is the function of the coordinates of particles and time. The square of the probability function, |Ψ|2, relates to the probability density.

Chemistry Assuming that the vibrations of a 14N2 molecule are equivalent to those of a harmonic oscillator with a force constant kf = 2293.8 N m−1, what is the zero-point energy of vibration of this molecule? The mass of a 14N atom is 14.0031 u.
Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule. The carbon-oxygen bonds in this molecule act very much like springs. Figure 11–58 shows one possible way the oxygen atoms in this molecule can oscillate: the oxygen atoms oscillate symmetrically in and out, while the central carbon atom remains at rest. Hence each oxygen atom acts like a simple harmonic oscillator with a mass equal to the mass of an oxygen atom. It is observed that this oscillation occurs at a frequency ƒ = 2.83 × 1013 Hz. What is the spring constant of the C-O bond?
For a He atom in the excited state with atomic electronic configuration 1s1 2s1: write out the symmetric and antisymmetric spatial wavefunctions.  These two are linear combination of ψ1s and ψ2s each with an electron in them. combine each spatial wavefunction with the appropriate spin wavefunctions for two electrons (there are four of them) such that the total wavefunction is antisymmetric.
