Consider the double delta-function potentialWhereand are positive constants
(a) Sketch this potential.
(b) How many bound states does it possess? Find the allowed energies, forand for, and sketch the wave functions.
Show that E must be exceed the minimum value of ,for every normalizable solution to the time independent Schrodinger equation what is classical analog to this statement?
;
If then and its second derivative always have the same sign. Is it normalized?
A particle of mass m is in the ground state of the infinite square well (Evaluation 2.19). Suddenly the well expands to twice its original size – the right wall moving from a to 2a – leaving the wave function (momentarily) undisturbed. The energy of the particle is now measured.
What is the Fourier transform ? Using Plancherel’s theorem shows that.
If two (or more) distinct44solutions to the (time-independent) Schrödinger equation have the same energy E . These states are said to be degenerate. For example, the free particle states are doubly degenerate-one solution representing motion to the right. And the other motion to the left. But we have never encountered normalizable degenerate solutions, and this is no accident. Prove the following theorem: In one dimension45 there are no degenerate bound states. Hint: Suppose there are two solutions, and with the same energy E. Multiply the Schrödinger equation for by and the Schrödinger equation for by and subtract, to show that is a constant. Use the fact that for normalizable solutions to demonstrate that this constant is in fact zero.Conclude that s a multiple of and hence that the two solutions are not distinct.
