In the ground state of the harmonic oscillator, what is the probability (correct to three significant digits) of finding the particle outside the classically allowed region?
Consider the moving delta-function well:
where v is the (constant) velocity of the well. (a) Show that the time-dependent Schrödinger equation admits the exact solution where is the bound-state energy of the stationary delta function. Hint: Plug it in and check it! Use the result of Problem 2.24(b). (b) Find the expectation value of the Hamiltonian in this state, and comment on the result.
Find the allowed energies of the half harmonic oscillator
(This represents, for example, a spring that can be stretched, but not compressed.) Hint: This requires some careful thought, but very little actual calculation.
Show that there is no acceptable solution to the Schrodinger equation for the infinite square well with or(This is a special case of the general theorem in Problem 2.2, but this time do it by explicitly solving the Schrodinger equation, and showing that you cannot meet the boundary conditions.)
Evaluate the following integrals:
(a).
(b).
(c)
