Figure 5.15 shows that the allowed wave functions for a finite well whose depth U0was chosen to be62/mL2.

(a) Insert this value in equation (5-23), then using a calculator or computer, solve for the allowed value of kL, of which there are four.

(b) Usingk=2mEfind corresponding values of E. Do they appear to agree with figure 5.15?

(c) Show that the chosenU0implies that 122L2k2.

(d) DefiningLandCto be 1 for convenience, plug your KLand values into the wave function given in exercise 46, then plot the results. ( Note: Your first and third KLvalues should correspond to even function of z, thus using the form withCOSKZ, while the second and forth correspond to odd functions. Do the plots also agree with Figure 5.15?

Short Answer

b) The expression for energy is E=k222m, and yes, it agrees with figure 5.15.

c) It is proved that =122L2k2.

d)

yes, they agree with figure 5.15.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The allowed wave functions for a finite well whose depth can be expressed as,

U0=622mL2 (1)

02

The concepts and formula used to solve the given problem

The equation of potential energy can be written as,

U0={2k22msec2kL22k22mcsc2kL2 (2)

Here, U0is the potential energy,Kis energy constant,is reduced Planck's constant,mis the mass, andLis the depth of the well.

03

 a) Allowed values of KL

Substitute the values in the equation (2), and we get,

Part 1.

622mL2=2k22msec2kL2122k2L2=sec2kL2kLseckL2=12

When we use the calculator to solve the above equation, we find the values as,

kL=2.650,3.868,7.821

But 3.868 lies within (,2), which fails the condition.

Part 2.

622mL2=2k22mcsc2kL2122k2L2=csc2kL2kLcsckL2=12

When we use the calculator to solve the above equation, we find the values as,

kL=5.272,7.911,10.159

But 7.911 lies within (2,3), which fails the condition.

Therefore, the allowed values KLare 2.650, 7.821, 5.272, and 10.159.

04

(b) The concepts and formula used to solve the given problem

The expression forKis given as,

k=2mE

Here, kis energy constant, Eis the energy.

Rearrange the above expression for E, and we get,

k2=2mE2E=k222m

To compare it to figure 5.15, we can modify it as,

E=k22L262262mL2E=622mL2(kL)2122

Substitute the values in the above equation from equation 1, and we get,

E=U0(kL)2122

This expression is the fraction of the total well depth.

Thus, the expression for energy is E=k222m, and yes, it agrees with figure 5.15.

05

c ) Show that  α≃12π2L2−k2

The expression for the value of can be written as,

=2m(U0E)2 鈥︹ (3)

Here, is the energy constant.

Substitute the values in the above equation, and we get,

=2m622mL2k222m2=122L2k2

Therefore, It is proved that=122L2k2

d ) Plots

The plots are given below as,

Yes, they agree with figure 5.15.
