Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Is the schrodinger wave equation applicable to a stationary electron?

« on: 20/12/2016 09:29:07 »

S.D Sharma  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
When the quantum number l is zero the angular momentum is zero and hence the electron is stationary. What is the location of stationary electron in the atom. Is the Schrodinger wave equation applicable to a stationary electron?
What do you think?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why is the energy of rigid rotator the sum of two energy terms?

hi soul surfer
i am very sorry that my question was not stated explicitly.I mean that in the expression for energy of oscillator involving sum of two energy terms second energy terms is called zero point energy similarly is there any significance attached two rigid rotator energy which is also sum of two energy terms
thanks for your effort

hi lightarrow
i mean rigid rotator in quantum mechanics.As there is explanation for two energy terms of simple harmonic oscillator is there any explanation for two energy terms involved in total energy of rigid rotator?

hi raghavendra
is the value of constants like Plancks constant ,permittivity etc. is the same in moving frame and stationary frame?

Chemistry / What is the source of bond energy for a hydrogen molecule?

« on: 26/03/2010 11:47:05 »

when hydrogen atom is formed by the combination of electron and proton initially separated by in finite distance energy is released and hence hydrogen atom is expected to be stable but it is highly unstable because it stabilizes itself by combining with other hydrogen atom with release of bond energy .Why is it so?What is the source of bond energy?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why does a train platform appear to move?

« on: 26/03/2010 11:32:39 »

when the train is moving the railway platform appears to be moving in opposite direction which is due to the motion of the image of the platform on the retina in the opposite direction to that  of the train.Is it true that motion of train is real because force has been applied to the train while motion of platform is apparent and hence two frames are not equivalent?
