Assume that the electronic states of the p electrons of a conjugated molecule can be approximated by the wavefunctions of a particle in a one-dimensional box and that the dipole moment can be related to the displacement along this length by μ = −ex. Show that the transition probability for the transition n = 1 > n = 2 is nonzero, whereas that for n = 1 > n = 3 is zero.

Assume that the electronic states of the π electrons of a conjugated molecule can be approximated by the wavefunctions of a particle in a one-dimensional box, and that the dipole moment can be related to the displacement along this length by μ= -ex, where e is the fundamental unit of charge and x is the displacement.

Explanation:

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
