Question

Hamiltonian operator is the sum of two energy operators. These are
(A) Mechanical and potential
(B) Kinetic and mechanical
(C) Kinetic and potential
(D) Thermal and potential​

Answer 1

Answer:

These are. mechanical and potential.

kinetic and mechanical

Answer 2

A Hamiltonian operator is the sum of two energy operators. These are (C) Kinetic and potential.

Explanation for the answer:

• We know that, $H = T + V$
• where, H = Hamiltonian operator; T = Kinetic energy and V = potential energy.
• $T = \frac{1}{2} {mv}^{2}$
• $= \frac{ {p}^{2} }{2m}$
• And, $V = - \frac{ {Ze}^{2} }{r}$
• Hence, the correct answer among all the options is option (C) Kinetic and potential.
