(Solved): For a diatomic molecule rotating in 2 dimensions, the Hamiltonian is H^=2Ih2d2d2 and the ...




For a diatomic molecule rotating in 2 dimensions, the Hamiltonian is \( \hat{H}=-\frac{h^{2}}{2 I} \frac{d^{2}}{d \phi^{2}} \
For a diatomic molecule rotating in 2 dimensions, the Hamiltonian is and the Schrodinger equation is . Note that this means that the angle is not changing, so it does not appear as a variable: the molecule is stuck on one plane (hence 2D rotation). a. Normalize the wavefunction b. Now use the normalized wavefunction to find the energy levels for the 2-D rigid rotor. Are the energies quantized? If so are the energy levels evenly spaced? c. What is the degeneracy for each energy level? Explain.
