A particle in the infinite square well has as its initial wave function an even mixture of the first two stationary states: psi(x, 0) = A[psi_1 (x) + psi_2(x)]. Normalize psi(x, 0) (that is, find A). Find psi (x) and |psi (x, )|^2. Express the latter as a sinusoidal function of time. To simplify the result, let omega = pi^2 h/2ma^2. Compute < x >? Compute < p >? If you measured the energy of this particle, what values might...
please explain all, thanks! 4. (60 pts) A particle in an infinite square well of width L has an initial wave function (x,t = 0) = Ax(L - x)2, OSX SL a) Find y(x, t) fort > 0. You first have to normalize the wave function. Hint: this is best expressed an infinite series: show that the wave function coefficients are on = * 31% (12 – n?)(1-(-1)") → (n = 87315 (12 - nºre?); n odd. b) Which energy...

Consider a particle in a 1-d well with potential V(x) =-U for-d < x < d, and V(z) 0 elsewhere. We will use the variational wave function v(z) = A(b + r), t(x)-A(b-x), -b < r < 0, 0 < x < b, to show that a bound state exists for any U0. a) Normalize the wave function. Find the expectation values of the kinetic and potential energies b) Show that for sufficiently large b, with b> d, the expectation...
2. A particle of mass m in the infinite square well of width a (located at 0 SSa) has as its initial wave function a mixture of two stationary states: v(x,0)Avi(x) +2s (x). (a) Find the probability density of finding the particle at the center of the well, as a function of time. (b) Find the average momentum of the particle at time t.
The particle of mass m in the infinite square well (of width a) starts out of the left half of the well, and is (at 1-0) equally likely to be found at any point in that region, what is the initial wave function Ψ(0)? Assume it is real, do not forget to normalize it.
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...

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...
(30) 1. a) Briefly explain the physical reasoning for requiring a wavefunction to be normalized, b) The state of a harmonic oscillator is given by the wavefunction: P(x, t0) = A1 01(x) + A2 02(x). Where Al and A2 are constants and 1(x) and 02(x) are energy eigenfunctions associated with energies E, and E. What condition must A1 and A2 satisfy in order for 'Plx, t0) to be normalized? c) If the particle in the state P(x,t=0), given above, is...
