Homework Answers
a) If the particles are distinguishable, then let the first particle be in the ground state and the second particle be in the first excited state. This state is represented as
Another possibility is the first particle be in first excited state and the second particle is in the ground state. This state is represented as
b) If the particles are identical then either particle can be in ground state or first excited state. For bosons, the wave function is symmetric and the normalization factor is 1/sqrt(2).
c) For identical fermions, the wave function is anti-symmetric and the normalization factor is 1/sqrt(2).

A rigid rotor has two particles of mass m attached to the ends of a massless rigid rod of length a. The rotor is free to rotate in three dimensions about the center of mass. This is a model for the rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule, a molecule with two identical nuclei. (An example is 16O2.) (a) By expressing the Hamiltonian in terms of the orbital angular momentum, show that the allowed energies of this rigid rotor are...
