Determine the Fourier transform A(k)of the oscillatory functionf(x) ) and interpret the result. (The identity cos(k0x)=12(e+ik0+eik0)may be useful.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total function is symmetric around they -axis, nevertheless, its oscillatory, however, it decays asx. The function is also peaked around k=k0,k=k0 and the width of this peak is inversely proportional toL or the box length (precisely the width is 4L).

A(k)=L4sin((k0+k)L2)(k0+k)L2+L4sin((k0k)L2)(k0k)L2

Step by step solution

01

The Fourier transform

The generalization of the Fourier series is known as Fourier transform and it can also refer to both the frequency domain representation and the mathematical function used. The Fourier transform facilitates the application of the Fourier series to non-periodic functions, allowing every function to be viewed as a sum of simple sinusoids.

The equation of the Fourier transform as,

A(k)=12+(x)eikxdx

Trigonometry relation, eixex2=isinx

02

Substitute the given function using equation of Fourier transform

Substitute the given function f(x)in the equation for the Fourier transform with proper limits fromL2 to +L2

A(k)=12(x)eikxdxA(k)=12L2L2cos(k0x)eikxdxA(k)=12L2L2(eik0x+eik0x2)eikxdxA(k)=14L2L2(ei(k0+k)x+ei(k0k)x)dxA(k)=14ei(k0+k)L2ei(k0+k)L2i(k0+k)+14ei(k0k)L2ei(k0k)L2i(k0k)A(k)=12sin((k0+k)L2)(k0+k)+12sin((k0k)L2)(k0k)A(k)=L4sin((k0+k)L2)(k0+k)L2+L4sin((k0k)L2)(k0k)L2

Where, we used the sine identity sin(x)=eixeix2in the transition from above equations with xbeing[(k0k)L2].

However, the two sine functions (sin(x)x) that we ended up with in above equation are even functions.

Hence, the total function is symmetric around the y-axis, nevertheless, its oscillatory, however, it decays as x. The function is also peaked around k=k0,k=k0 and the width of this peak is inversely proportional to or the box length (precisely the width is 4L).

The function is shown below, it has been normalized, with f(k)given by the general expressionA(k)=L4sin((k0+k)L2)(k0+k)L2+L4sin((k0k)L2)(k0k)L2

Question: From equation (6.33), we conclude that the group velocity of a matter wave group equals the velocity V0 of the massive particle with which it is associated. However both the dispersion relation used to show that vgroup=hk0/m and the formula used to relatethis to the particle velocity are relativistically incorrect. It might be argued that we proved what we wished to prove by making an even number of mistakes.

a. Using the relativistically correct dispersion relation given in Exercise 4.1show that the group velocity of a wave pulse is actually given by

vgroup=hk0c2(hk0)2c2+m2c4

b. The fundamental relationship=hk is universally connect. So is indeed the particle momentum . (it is not well defined. but this is its approximate or central value) Making this substitution in the expression forvgroupfrom part (a). then using the relativistically correct, relationship between momentum and panicle velocity v,show that the group velocity again is equal to the panicle velocity.

Calculate the uncertainties in r for the 2s and 2p states using the formula

r=r2-r2

What insight does the difference between these two uncertainties convey about the nature of the corresponding orbits?

For waves on the surf ace of water, the behaviour of long wavelengths is dominated by gravitational effects-a liquid "seeking its own level." Short wavelengths are dominated by surface tension effects. Taking both into account, the dispersion relation is=gk+(/)k3. whereis the surface tension,p is the density of water, and gis, of course, the gravitational acceleration?

  1. Make a qualitative sketch of group velocity versus wave number. How does it behave for very large k? For very small k?
  2. (b) Find the minimum possible group velocity and the wavelength at which it occurs.Use=0.072N/m,=103kg/m3andg=9.8m/s2.

A particle is bound by a potential energy of the form

U(x) =0|x|<12a|x| >12a

This differs from the infinite well of Section 5.5in being symmetric about, which implies that the probability densities must also he symmetric. Noting that either sine or cosine would fit this requirement and could be made continuous with the zero wave function outside the well. Determine the allowed energies and corresponding normalised wave functions for this potential well.

The 2,1,0state 鈥2p the state in which mI=0has most of its probability density along the z-axis, and so it is often referred to as a 2pzstate. To allow its probability density to stick out in other ways and thus facilitate various kinds of molecular bonding with other atoms, an atomic electron may assume a wave function that is an algebraic combination of multiple wave functions open to it. One such 鈥渉ybrid state鈥 is the sum 2,1,0=2,1,-1(Note: Because the Schrodinger equation is a linear differential equation, a sum of solutions with the same energy is a solution with that energy. Also, normalization constants may be ignored in the following questions.)

(a) Write this wave function and its probability density in terms of r, , and , (Use the Euler formula to simplify your result.)

(b) In which of the following ways does this state differ from its parts (i.e., 2,1,+1and 2,1,-1) and from the 2pz state: Energy? Radial dependence of its probability density? Angular dependence of its probability density?

(c) This state is offer is often referred to as the 2pz. Why?

(d) How might we produce a 2pystate?
