=>
since for every n [n = 1,2,3,4,.....] and 0 < x < L
therefore, is satisfied for every n.

ALSO THE LESS THAN OR EQUAL SIGN SHOULD BE FACING THE OTHER WAY I BELIEVE... that is an error! A classic pair of complementary operators are operators obeyed the Heisenberg relationship and Px In class we showed these for the harmonic oscillator. Show they also obey this relationship for the particle in the box. Note: your answer will be a function of the quantum number n. Show the relationship holds for n = 1 and any larger value of n.
3 Problem Three [10 points] (The Quantum Oscillator) We have seen in class that the Hamiltonian of a particle of a simple Harmonic oscillator potential in one dimension can be expressed in term of the creation and annihilation operators àt and à, respectively, as: or with In >, n = 0,1,..) are the nth eigenstates of the above Hamiltonian. Part A A.1. Show that the energy levels of a simple harmonic oscillator are E,' Aw (nti), n=0, 12, A.2. Calculate...
In class we solved the quantum harmonic oscillator problem for a diatomic molecule. As part of that solution we transformed coordinates from x, the oscillator displacement coordinate, to the unitless, y using the relationship where μ is the reduced mass of the diatomic molecule and k is the force constant. The solutions turned out to be: w(y)N,H, (y)e Where N is a normalization constant, H,(v) are the Hermit polynomials and v is the quantum number with values of v0,1,2,3,.. The...
I think I have 1a. but I don't know the other parts. In class, we showed for the classical harmonic oscillator that: E_ = 1/2 kA^2, where k is spring force constant and A is the amplitude of oscillation. We found that the harmonic oscillator had angular frequency expressed as: omega = Squareroot k/m. We also discussed in class for the classical harmonic oscillator: E_ = E_k +V with E_k = 1/2 mv^2 and V = 1/2 kx^2 a.) Use...
2 On Thermodynamic Equilibrium In class, we saw that the velocity (u) distribution of non-relativistic particles with number-density n and temperature T in thermodynamic equilibrium is the Maxwellian distribution No = n4mv? (2.) e-mo?/KT, so long as quantum effects may be neglected. 1) It was claimed that the most probable speed for a particle is Umg(T) = 247 ni Go through the calculation to show that this is true. * * * Recall that the Planck spectrum may be written...
what I need for is #2! #1 is attached for #2. Please help me! Thanks 1. In class we showed that the function f : R → R given by (if>o 0 if a S0 was smooth (but not real analytic). Note that f(x) approaches a horizontal asymptote (y = 1) as a goes to positive infinity. (a) Show that f(x)+f(1-2)メ0 for all x E R, so that g : R → R given by g(x)- 70 is also a...
