3 Casimir effect We will derive the Casinir effect in three dimen- sions, making use of the Euler-Maclaurin formula where θη _ 1 for n > 0,4,-1/2, and θη 0 for n <0. (You don't need to prove this formula.) Let us consider walls of length L. Let EL be the vacuum energy inside the box. We now insert a conducting plate at a distance RL parallel to one of the walls, dividing the volume into two. Denote ER and...
3 Casimir effect c. All vacuum energies considered so far are infinite. In reality, the metal walls are conduc tors only at finite frequencies, and thus do not impose boundary conditions at infinite frqu cies. (The cutoff is given roughly by the plasma frequencywp Thus, we need (and should) not consider infinite frequencies in our equations. To remove We will derive the Casimir effect in thee d sions, making use of the Euler-Maclaurin formula imen- them, we introduce a cutoff...
(15 points) Encounter with a semi-infinite potential "well" In this problem we will investigate one situation involving a a semi-infinite one-dimensional po- tential well (Figure 1) U=0 region 1 region 2 region 3 Figure 1: Semi-infinite potential for Problem 3 This potential is piecewise defined as follows where Uo is some positive value of energy. The three intervals in x have been labeled region 1,2 and 3 in Figure 1 Consider a particle of mass m f 0 moving in...
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...
Question 8 please 5. We start with Schrodinger's Equation in 2(x,t) = H¥(x,t). We can write the time derivative as 2.4(x, t) = V(x,+) - (xt), where At is a sufficiently small increment of time. Plug the algebraic form of the derivative into Schrodinger's Eq. and solve for '(x,t+At). b. Put your answer in the form (x,t+At) = T '(x,t). c. What physically does the operator T do to the function '(x,t)? d. Deduce an expression for '(x,t+24t), in terms...

Thus au du ar2 at Suppose that a heat conducting rod of length a has the left end r = ( maintained at temperature ( while the right end at r = is insulated so that there is no heat flow. This gives us the boundary conditions au u(0,t) = 0, (7,0) = 0. Find the solution u(x, t) if the initial temperature distribution on the...

Question 2: finite square well in three dimensions 12 marks *Please note: in PHYS2111 we have not discussed multi-dimensional systems, but please keep in mind that in order to answer this question all you need is the knowledge about a particle moving in one dimension in a finite square well. Consider a particle of mass m moving in a three-dimensional spherically symmetric square-well potential of radius a and depth V. (see also figure on pag. 3): V(r) = { S-Vo...
