A finite potential energy function U(x) allows the solution of the time-independent Schr枚dinger equation. to penetrate the classically forbidden region. Without assuming any particular function for U(x) show that b(x) must have an inflection point at any value of x where it enters a classically forbidden region.
The product of uncertainties in particle's momentum and position.
Calculate the uncertainty in the particle鈥檚 position.
Consider a particle of mass mand energy E in a region where the potential energy is constant U0. Greater than E and the region extends to
(a) Guess a physically acceptable solution of the Schrodinger equation in this region and demonstrate that it is solution,
(b) The region noted in part extends from x = + 1 nm to . To the left of x = 1nm. The particle鈥檚 wave function is Dcos (109m-1 x). Is also greater than Ehere?
(c) The particle鈥檚 mass m is 10-3 kg. By how much (in eV) doesthe potential energy prevailing from x=1 nm to U0. Exceed the particle鈥檚 energy?
In the harmonic oscillators eave functions of figure there is variation in wavelength from the middle of the extremes of the classically allowed region, most noticeable in the higher-n functions. Why does it vary as it does?
