3. Consider a free particle on a circle. That is, consider V(z) = 0 and wave functions Ψ(z, t) which are periodic functions of z: Ψ(z,t) = Ψ(z + L, t). a) Solve the Time-Independent Schroedinger equation. For each allowed energy, En, you will find two solutions, (s). Why does this not contradict the theorem that we proved in class about the non-degeneracy of the solutions to the TISE in one dimension? b) Start with the initial condition Ψ(z,0) sin2(nz/L)....
