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...
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?
A particle in an infinite well of width L is in its ground state. a) If L is 30 cm, what is the ground state energy? (3 marks) Where is the particle most likely to be found? Use sketching to further explain. (4 marks)
What's the quantum number for a particle in an infinite square well if the particle's energy is 25 times the ground-state energy?
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 ?
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...
