Homework Statement


Write all possible terms (n1 j1, n2 j2, …) J
for these electronic configurations (considering jj coupling scheme):
1s2
1s2s
1s22s22p
1s22s22p5

The Attempt at a Solution



1s2
I have two electrons in the s sub-shell,
since |l-s|<=j<=l+s then j1=1/2 and j2=1/2.
This gives possible J values of J=0,1 and the terms are

(1/2,1/2)0 (1/2,1/2)1


1s2s
one electron in 1s and one in 2s.
Again using a rule |l-s|<=j<=l+s gives j1=j2=1/2 for both electrons.
j1 and j2 can couple together go give total J=0,1 so the terms are again

(1/2,1/2)0 (1/2,1/2)1


So far I'm not sure that this is right, do I have to do this calculations with all electrons
or can I ignore completely filled shells ? But what about 1s2s then ? Also is my designation
of these terms like (j1,j2)J correct ?

1s22s22pOne electron in 1s, two in 2s and two in 2p.Again using a rule |l-s|<=j<=l+s gives j1=1/2, j2,j3,j4=1 for all electrons in 2s and j5,j6=3/2 for electrons in 2p.These six can couple together to give total J=0,1,2,3 so the terms are(1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2)0 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2)1 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2)2 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2)31s22s22p5One electron in 1s, two in 2s, two in 2p and one in 5s.Again using a rule |l-s|<=j<=l+s gives j1=1/2, j2,j3,j4=1 for all electrons in 2s and j5,j6=3/2 for electrons in 2p and j7=1/2 for electron in 5s.These seven can couple together to give total J=0,1,2,3,4,5 so the terms are(1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2,1/2)0 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2,1/2)1 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2,1/2)2 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2,1/2)3 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2,1/2)4 (1/2,1,1,1,3/2,3/2,1/2)5
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
