Quantum Mechanics question about an infinite square
well.
A particle in an infinite square well potential has an initial state vector 14() = E1) - %|E2) where E) is the n'th eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian operator. (a) Find the time evolution of the state vector. (b) Find the expectation value of the position as a function of time.
A particle is in the ground state of a symmetric infinite square well with Vx) O for -a/2<x<+a/2, and infinite elsewhere. (a) The well then undergoes an instantaneous symmetric expansion to -a <<< ta. Calculate the probabilities of the particle being found in each of the three lowest energy states of the larger well. (b) Instead, suppose that the well expansion takes place adiabatically. Again, calculate the probabilities of the particle being found in each of the three lowest energy...
5) A particle of mass m is in the ground state of the infinite square well 0 < x < a At t-0 the right hand wall suddenly moves to x = 2a, doubling the size of the well. Assume that this expansion happens on a time scale so fast that the initial wave function (at t0+) is the same as just before the expansion (at t-0-) (This is called the "sudden" approximation.) a) What is the probability that a...
Exercise 5 Consider a particle in an infinite square well of length a. The particle is initially in the ground-state. The width of the potential well is suddenly changed by moving the right wall of the well from a to 2a. What is the probability of observing the particle in the ground-state of the new expanded well ?
An infinite square well and a finite square well in 1D with
equal width. The potential energies of these wells are
Infinite square well: V(x)=0, from 0 < x < a, also V(x) =
, elsewhere
Finite square well: V(x)= 0, from 0 < x < a, also V(x) =
,
elsewhere
The ground state of both systems have identical particles.
Without solving the energies of ground states, determine which
particle has the higher energy and explain why?
Calculate the Fermi energy for electrons in a 4-dimensional infinite square well. (See Griffiths Quantum Mechanics 2nd edition, problem 5.34 for reference. NOTE: The problem in Griffiths is for a 2-dimensional infinite square-well, NOT a 4-dimensional infinite square well.)
1. Infinite potential quantum well. (1) Starting from the Schrödinger equation, please derive the quantized energy levels and wave functions for an infinite potential quantum well of width D 2 nm. (2) Photon emission wavelength: Please calculate the emitted photon wavelength if an electron falls from the n-2 state into n-l state inside this infinite potential quantum well. (3) Heisenberg uncertainty principle: For the n-2 state of an electron inside an infinite potential well, prove that the Heisenberg uncertainty relation...
4) A particle in an infinite square well 0 for 0
Problem #2 : infinite square well particle velocity For each of the following, estimate the difference between the speeds of the particle when it is in the first excited state and when it is in the lowest-energy state: (i) an electron confined by an infinite square-well potential whose width is roughly equal to the radius of an atom (about 10-10 m); (ii) a tennis ball confined by an infinite square-well potential whose width is equal to the width of a...
A particle with a mass of 12 mg is bound in an infinite potential well of width a 1 cm. The energy of the particle is 10 m3. (a) Determine the value of n for that state. what is the energy of the (n + 1) state? (c) Would quantum effects be observable for this particle?
