Chapter 40: Q. 1 (page 1174)

FIGURE Q40.1shows the de Broglie waves of three equal-mass particles. Which one is moving most slowly? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The wave is shown in part (c) one is moving most slowly.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to find that one is moving most slowly.

02

Explanation

The de Broglie wavelength is given as :

位=hp=hmv

the equation shows that the velocity is inversely proportional to the wavelength, which means that the wave with the largest 位is the slowest.

Consider a particle in a rigid box of length L. For each of the states n=1,n=2,and n=3:

a. Sketch graphs of 蠄(x)2. Label the points x=0and x=L.

b. Where, in terms of L, are the positions at which the particle is most likely to be found?

c. Where, in terms of L, are the positions at which the particle is least likely to be found?

d. Determine, by examining your 蠄(x)2graphs, if the probability of finding the particle in the left one-third of the box is less than, equal to, or greater than 13. Explain your reasoning.

e. Calculate the probability that the particle will be found in the left one-third of the box

A 16nm-long box has a thin partition that divides the box into a4nm-long section and a12nm-long section. An electron confined in the shorter section is in the n=2 state. The partition is briefly withdrawn, then reinserted, leaving the electron in the longer section of the box. What is the electron鈥檚 quantum state after the partition is back in place?
