Question:Let in the Schrodinger equation (3.22) and separate variables in 2-dimensional rectangular coordinates. Solve the problem of a particle in a 2-dimensional square box, This means to find solutions of the Schrodinger equation which are 0 for , that is, on the boundary of the box, and to find the corresponding energy eigenvalues. Comments: If we extend the idea of a 鈥減article in a box鈥 (see Section 3, Example 3) to two or three dimensions, the box in 2D might be a square (as in this problem) or a circle (Problem 8); in 3D it might be a cube (Problem 7.17) or a sphere (Problem 7.19). In all cases, the mathematical problem is to find solutions of the Schrodinger equation with inside the box and on the boundary of the box, and to find the corresponding energy eigenvalues. In quantum mechanics, describes a particle trapped inside the box and the energy eigenvalues are the possible values of the energy of the particle.
Continue the problem of Example 2 in the following way: Instead of using the explicit form of B(k) from (9.12), leave it as an integral and write (9.13) in the form
Change the order of integration and evaluate the integral with respect to k first. (Hint: Write the product of sines as a difference of cosines.) Now do the t integration and get (9.14)
Find the general solution for the steady-state temperature in Figure 2.2 if the boundary temperatures are the constants, etc., on the four sides, and the rectangle covers the area .
Find the steady-state temperature distribution in a plate with the boundary temperaturesfor and ;for and . Hint: Subtractfrom all temperatures and solve the problem; then add . (Also see Problem 2.)
Find the steady-state temperature distribution in a spherical shell of inner radius 1 and outer radius 2 if the inner surface is held at and the outer surface has its upper half at and its lower half at role="math" localid="1664359640240" . Hint: r = 0 is not in the region of interest, so the solutions in (7.9) should be included. Replace in (7.11) by.
