A) Calculate the mean values <x^2> and <p^2x> for stationery state n. B) Calculate the rms deviations sigma(x) and sigma(px) for stationery state n. Check that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is satisfied. 1. Consider a particle of mass m in an infinite square well with potential energy 0 for 0 saSa otherwise. V (z) = For simplicity, we may take the 'universe' here to be the region of 0 sas a, which is where the wave function is nontrivial. Consequently,...
1. Consider a particle of mass m in an infinite square well with potential energy 0 for 0 Sz S a oo otherwise V (x) For simplicity, we may take the 'universe' here to be the region of 0 S z S a, which is where the wave function is nontrivial. Consequently, we may express stationary state n as where En is the associated mechanical energy. It can be shown that () a/2 and (p:)0 for stationary state n. (a)...
part (e),(f) and (g) 3. Wave functions (40 marks) Consider particle described by wave function (x) = Ce-x/a for x > 0, and otherwise (C is a real and non-negative). (a) Normalise (x) and plot it (you can use a computer to plotit). (b) Calculate the probability that the particle is located within distance a from the origin. (e) Find mean value of position measurement. (d) Find mean value of momentum measurement. Hint: use the fact that (x) is purely...
The initial wave function of a free particle is: Ψ(x,0) = A, for |x| = 0, otherwise where a and A are positive real numbers. The particle is in a zero (or constant) potential environment since it is a free particle a) Determine A from normalization. b) Determine φ(p) = Φ(p,0), the time-zero momentum representation of the particle state. What is Φ(p,t)? Sketch φ(p). Locate the global maximum and the zeros of φ(p). Give the expression for the zeros (i.e.,...

Question 1: As you work through the parts of this question you are going to show that the Maxwell equations naturally contain electromagnetic waves. In a region of space that is void of all charges and currents, p=0 and J = 0 the Maxwell equations come out to be: Y E = 0 7.B=0 7 x Ē = -1 1 x B = Poco a) Using the same idea as I did in the lecture, derive the Wave Equation for...
