Study Guide (Test 1)

Physics 522, Test 1

February 28, 1:25 PM - 3:25 PM.

The test will be closed book.  Mathematical tables, calculators, and tables of CG coefficients may be used.

Students will be asked to solve three out of four problems.

One problem will explore the motion of a particle in a central field and the motion of two interacting particles.  In this problem the interaction is not the Coulomb interaction.  Click the links for example problems from the notes and the homework assignments.  (1), (2), (3), (4),
One problems will deal with the hydrogen atom, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, spectroscopic notation, and hydrogenic systems.  Click the links for example problems from the notes and the homework assignments.  (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7)
One problems will explore the motion of the nuclei of diatomic molecules, and the vibrational-rotational levels of diatomic molecules.  Click the links for example problems from the notes and the homework assignments.  (1), (2), (3), (4)
One problem will be an "addition of angular momentum" problem or a problem involving the projection theorem.  Click the links for example problems from the notes and the homework assignments.  (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9)

The problems on the test will be similar to some of the linked problems.
