4. (20 points) Infinite Wells in Three Dimensions a) Consider a three dimensional in- finite rectangular well for which L -L, Ly-2L, ald L2-3L. In terms of quantum numbers (e.g. nz, ny, and n.), M. L, and ћ. write down an expression for the energies of all quantum states. (b) Find the energies of the ground state and the first three lowest lying energies. As in part (b), for each energy level, give the quantum numbers n, ny, n and...
A NON stationary state A particle of mass m is in an infinite square well potential of width L, as in McIntyre's section 5.4. Suppose we have an initial state vector lv(t -0) results from Mclntrye without re-deriving them, and you may use a computer for your math as long as you include your code in your solution A(3E1) 4iE2)). You may use E. (4 pts) Use a computer to plot this probability density at 4 times: t 0, t2...

Problem 7.9
Problem 7.9 Consider a particle of mass m that is free to move in a one- dimensional region of length L that closes on itself (for instance, a bea that slides frictionlessly on a circular wire of circumference L, as Problem 2.46) (a) Show that the stationary states can be written in the form 2π inx/L where n 0, t l, 2, , and the allowed energies are In Notice that-with...
8.4 The Two-Dimensional Central-Force Problem The 2D harmonic oscillator is a 2D central force problem (as discussed in TZD Many physical systems involve a particle that moves under the influence of a central force; that is, a force that always points exactly toward, or away from, a force center O. In classical mechanics a famous example of a central force is the force of the sun on a planet. In atomic physics the most obvious example is the hydrogen atom,...

TSD.1 In this problem, we will see (in outline) how we can calculate the multiplicity of a monatomic ideal gas This derivation involves concepts presented in chapter 17 Note that the task is to count the number of microstates that are compatible with a given gas macrostate, which we describe by specifying the gas's total energy u (within a tiny range of width dlu), the gas's volume V and the num- ber of molecules N in the gas. We will...
