does this have something to do with brillouin zone and bloch states?

from my reading i think their would be infinite states for both of them. Is that correct?

really confused on how to do this. Please help.

so is that correct?

Homework Statement What states are occupied by s-band? What states are occupied by p-band? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Wouldn't s and p both be able to occupy any energy state? Since i don't know the energy level the correspond to?

now my question is how would you know what states the s-band can have?

is this correct? An energy band is a continuous distribution of similar energy levels? What is the reason for energy bands in solids? The reason is there is a close proximity of many atoms which is because the energy difference becomes very small. So the energy is bundled together rather...

when 2 orbitals interact you end up with 2 different orbitals one with low energy and one with high? Would that be enough detail?

is that answer correct?

what exactly is an energy band. I am really confused. From my reading i get that each s-band can only have one state correct? and the p-band would be able to have 2 states?

answer to #4 would be n=2, l=0 ml=0 and ms=+-1/2

define the following are these definitions correct? and i can't find some of them in the book 1. Lorentz contraction equation x'=x-vt 2. the selection rules for dipole radiation ? 3.the energies of the electron in hydrogen 4. 4 quantum numbers for hydrogen 5. the equation...

anyone know how to do part d?
