Refer to a particle of massdescribed by the wave function

(x)={2a3xe-axX>00X<0

Verify that the normalization constant2a3 is correct.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The integral of the square of the wave function over all the space is properly normalized. The normalization constant is indeed equal to 2a3.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of wave function

(x,t)=Acos(kx-wt)is the general equation for a moving wave.The amplitude is equal to A. The wavelength is determined by multiplying k by x, and the location of the peak is determined by t.

02

Equals the wave function to 1.

The area under the square of the wave function is equal to 1 if the wave function is properly normalized.

1=-(x)虫唯(x)dx

=-00dx+04a3x2e-2axdx

=4a30x2e-2axdx

=-e-2ax(2a2x2+2ax+10

03

Verify the normalization constant

We need to take the limit as xapproaches and the limit as xapproaches 0.

limx(-e-2ax2a2x2+2ax+1)=(0limx2a2x2+2ax+1)=0

limx(-e-2ax(2a2x2+2ax+1))=((-1)(2a2x2+2ax+1))=1

By evaluating the integral using the limits, we get:

-(x)虫唯(x)dx=0-(-1)

=1

Hence, the integral of the square of the wave function over all the space is properly normalized. The normalization constant is indeed equal to role="math" localid="1656109477459" 2a3.

Show that the uncertainty in the momentum of a ground state harmonic oscillator is 2mk1/4.

What is the probability that the particle would be found between x = 0and x = 1/a?

If a particle in a stationary state is bound, the expectation value of its momentum must be 0.

(a). In words, why?

(b) Prove it.

Starting from the general expression(5-31) with p^in the place of Q, integrate by parts, then argue that the result is identically 0. Be careful that your argument is somehow based on the particle being bound: a free particle certainly may have a non zero momentum. (Note: Without loss of generality,(x) may be chosen to be real.)

There are mathematical solutions to the Schr枚dinger equation for the finite well for any energy, and in fact. They can be made smooth everywhere. Guided by A Closer Look: Solving the Finite Well. Show this as follows:

(a) Don't throw out any mathematical solutions. That is in region Il (x<0), assume that (Ce+ax+De-ax), and in region III (x>L), assume that(x)=Fe+ax+Ge-ax. Write the smoothness conditions.

(b) In Section 5.6. the smoothness conditions were combined to eliminate A,Band Gin favor of C. In the remaining equation. Ccanceled. leaving an equation involving only kand , solvable for only certain values of E. Why can't this be done here?

(c) Our solution is smooth. What is still wrong with it physically?

(d) Show that

localid="1660137122940" D=12(B-kA)andF=12e-L[(A-Bk)sin(kL)+(Ak+B)cos(kL)]

and that setting these offending coefficients to 0 reproduces quantization condition (5-22).
