A particle in a box is in the ground level. What is the probability of finding the particle in the right half of the box? (Refer to Fig. , but don’t evaluate an integral.) Is the answer the same if the particle is in an excited level? Explain.
Problem 1:
(a) A non-relativistic, free particle of mass m is bouncing back and forth between two perfectly reflecting
walls separated by a distance L. Imagine that the two oppositely directed matter waves associated with this
particle interfere to create a standing wave with a node at each of the walls. Find the kinetic energies of the
ground state (first harmonic, n = 1) and first excited state (second harmonic, n = 2). Find the formula for
the kinetic energy of the n-th harmonic.
(b) If an electron and a proton have the same non-relativistic kinetic energy, which particle has the larger
de Broglie wavelength?
(c) Find the de Broglie wavelength of an electron that is accelerated from rest through a small potential
difference V.
(d) If a free electron has a de Broglie wavelength equal to the diameter of Bohr's model of the hydrogen
atom (twice the Bohr radius), how does its kinetic energy compare to the ground-state energy of an electron
bound to a Bohr model hydrogen atom?
P-8 Please help me with the below question clearly with step by step explanation, please.
Note: The algebra for this problem can be a bit much -- at the very least set up the equations and state what the knowns and unknowns are.
