Q13E
To show that the Klein-Gordon equation has valid solutions for negative values of , verify that equation (12-4) is satisfied by a wave function of the form .
Q14E
To show,
(a) is the solution of both Klein-Gordon and the Schrodinger equations.
(b) is the solution of both Klein-Gordon but not the Schrodinger equations.
(c) The is a combination of positive and negative energy solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation.
(d) To compare the time dependence of for and .
Q20E
Trying to pull two quarks apart would produce more quarks in groups or hadrons. Suppose that when the separation reaches 1 fm ( the approximate radius of a nucleon), the lightest hadron a is created.
(a) Roughly how much force is involved?
(b) Compare this with the electrostatic force between two fundamentalcharges the same distance apart. Does your results agree with the strengths in table 12.1 ?
