Chapter 1: Q43E (page 1)

Anna and Bob have identical spaceship 60m long. The diagram shows Bob鈥檚 observations of Anna鈥檚 ship, which passes at a speed of c/2. Clocks at the back of both ships read just as they pass. Bob is at the center of his ship and at t = 0 on his wrist watch peers at a second clock on Anna鈥檚 ship.

(a) What does this clock read?

(b) Later, the back of Anna鈥檚 ship passes Bob. At what time does this occur according to Bob?

(c) What will observers in Bob鈥檚 frame see on Anna鈥檚 two clocks at this time?

(d) Identify two events that show time dilation and two that show length contraction according to Anna.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of Anna鈥檚 clock read at timet'=-100ns .

(b) The value of Bob time occurs later, the back of Anna鈥檚 ship passes is t'=141ns.

(c) The value of position of two clocks according to Bob鈥檚 to get the readings on Anna鈥檚 frame is t'1鈮�100nsand role="math" localid="1659757948068" t'2=0.

(d) It confirms that the events have been time dilated and length contracted from Anna's perspective by using the correct time and length, together with the length contraction and time dilation formulae.

Step by step solution

01

Question: The 2D Infinite Well: In two dimensions the Schr枚dinger equation is

(鈭�2鈭�x2+鈭�2鈭�y2)蠄(x,y)=-2m(E-U)h2蠄(x,y)

(a) Given that U is a constant, separate variables by trying a solution of the form 蠄(x,y)=f(x)g(y), then dividing byf(x)g(y) . Call the separation constants CX and CY .

(b) For an infinite well

role="math" localid="1659942086972" U={00<x<L,0<y<L鈭�otherwise

What should f(x) and g(y) be outside the well? What functions should be acceptable standing wave solutions f(x) for g(y) and inside the well? Are CX and CY positive, negative or zero? Imposing appropriate conditions find the allowed values of CX and CY .

(c) How many independent quantum numbers are there?

(d) Find the allowed energies E .

(e)Are there energies for which there is not a unique corresponding wave function?

The allowed electron energies predicted by the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom are correct.(a) Determine the three lowest. (b) The electron can "jump" from a higher to lower energy. with a photon carrying away the energy difference. From the three energies found in part (a), determine three possible wavelengths of light emitted by a hydrogen atom.

The well-known sodium doublet is two yellow spectral lines of very close wavelength.589.0nmand 589.0nmIt is caused by splitting of the 3p energy level. due to the spin-orbit interaction. In its ground state, sodium's single valence electron is in the level. It may be excited to the next higher level. the 3p , then emit a photon as it drops back to the 3s . However. the 3p is actually two levels. in which Land Sare aligned and anti-aligned. (In the notation of Section 8.7 these are. respectively. the3蚁3/2and 3p1n.)the because the (transitions Stan from slightly different initial energies yet have identical final energies(the 3shaving no orbital angular momentum to lead to spin-orbit interaction), there are two different wavelengths possible for the emitted photon. Calculate the difference in energy between the two photons. From this, obtain a rough value of the average strength of the internal magnetic field experienced by sodium's valence electron.

Make a rough sketches of the wave functions at the top of the n=2 band and the bottom of the n=3 band for a one dimensional 鈥渃rystal鈥� consisting of seven finite wells. Explain why these two states of roughly equal wave number have vastly different energies.
