Chapter 39: Q3. (page 1118)

For the electron wave function shown in FIGURE Q39.3, at what position or positions is the electron most likely to be found? Least likely to be found? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Most likely to be found: x = -2, 0, +2

Least likely to be found x = -4, +4, -1 and +1

Step by step solution

01

Concept used:

p(x)=蠄(x)2

02

Determination of positions where electron would most likely be found.

Now as we know probability will be the square of wave function.
And if we square this wave function, the whole graph will change to positive y axis with squared values.

So the point with highest values will be x = 0, 2nd highest will be at x = -2, +2

Points with minimum values after squaring will be+1, -1, -4 and +4 as function is approaching towards 0 there.

An experiment has four possible outcomes, labeled A to D. The probability of A is PA= 40% and of B is PB = 30%. Outcome C is twice as probable as outcome D. What are the probabilities PCand PD?

FIGURE P39.28 shows a pulse train. The period of the pulse train is T=2螖t, where 螖tis the duration of each pulse. What is the maximum pulse-transmission rate (pulses per second) through an electronics system with a 200kHz bandwidth? (This is the bandwidth allotted to each FM radio station.)

Soot particles, from incomplete combustion in diesel engines, are typically 15nmin diameter and have a density of 1200kg/m3. FIGURE P39.45 shows soot particles released from rest, in vacuum, just above a thin plate with a 0.50-渭m-diameter holeroughly the wavelength of visible light. After passing through the hole, the particles fall distance d and land on a detector. If soot particles were purely classical, they would fall straight down and, ideally, all land in a 0.50-渭m-diameter circle. Allowing for some experimental imperfections, any quantum effects would be noticeable if the circle diameter were 2000nm. How far would the particles have to fall to fill a circle of this diameter?

Andrea, whose mass is 50kg, thinks she's sitting at rest in her 5.0-m-long dorm room as she does her physics homework. Can Andrea be sure she's at rest? If not, within what range is her velocity likely to be?
