Consider a plane-wave solution to the free Schrödinger equation (V = 0) in one space dimension, with momentum pi. At time t = 0, the wavefunction takes the form Up (0,0) = P12/h. The lower index pı labels the momentum of this state. 1) What does the wavefunction look like at a later time t? 2) Next, consider another plane-wave state with a different momentum p2, with the wavefunction at t = 0 taking the form Up (2,0) = 1222/h....

An electron in region I with a kinetic energy E < Vo is approaching the step potential as shown in the figure below. To determine how deep the electron can tunnel into the classical forbidden region II, calculate the penetration length l of the electron, defined as the distance x where the probability density ||2 = of the penetrating electron has dropped to 1/e of its value at x = 0. Use: E = 3 eV V(x) = 0 for...
Suppose a particle has zero potential energy for x < 0, a constant value V, for 0 ≤ x ≤ L, and then zero for x > L. Sketch the potential. Now suppose that wavefunction is a sine wave on the left of the barrier, declines exponentially inside the barrier, and then becomes a sine wave on the right, being continuous everywhere. Sketch the wavefunction on your sketch of the potential energy.
