Q2: The interaction between an atom and an ion at distances greater than contact is given by the potential energy V(r) = -Cr-4. C = e² p²/2 where e is the charge and Pa the polarizability of the atom.) (a) Sketch the effective potential energy as a function of r. (b) If the total energy of the ion exceedsVo, the maximum value of the effective potential energy, the ion can strike the atom. Find Vo in terms of the angular momentum L. (8 points)
