A particle is in the three-dimensional cubical box of Section 41.2. (a) Consider the cubical volume defined by0xL/4,0yL/4, and 0zL/4. What fraction of the total volume of the box is this cubical volume? (b) If the particle is in the ground state (nX=1,nY=1,nZ=1), calculate the probability that the particle will be found in the cubical volume defined in part (a). (c) Repeat the calculation of part (b) when the particle is in the statenX=2,nY=1,nZ=1.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The fraction of the total volume is 0.0156.

b) The probability of the particle in the ground state will be the cubical volume defined in part (a) is 7.5010-4.

c) The probability of the when the particle is in the statenX=2,nY=1,nZ=1 is 0.0021.

Step by step solution

01

Define the energy level.

In a three-dimensional cubical box, the energy level of a particle is written as:

EnX,nY,nz=(nX2+nY2+nZ2)222mL2鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌(1)

Where,nX,nY andnz are the quantum numbers.

In a three-dimensional cubical box, the stationary-state wave function for a particle is represented as:

|nx,ny,nz(x,y,z)|2=(2L)3sin2nxxLsin2nyLsin2nzzL

02

Determine the fraction of the total volume of the box.

Given that, the cubical volume is defined by0xL/4,0yL/4 and0zL/4

(a)

The volume of a three-dimensional cubical box with length L/4 is:

VL/4=L23=L364

As the volume of the three-dimensional cubical box is V=L3.

A fraction of the total volume of the box is:

fraction=VL/4L3=L3/64L3=0.0156

The probability of particles in the cubical volume:

p=0L3/64nx,nY,nz(x,y,z)2dV=0L3/642L3sin2nxxLsin2nYyLsin2nzzLdV=2L30L/4sin2nXxLdx0L/4sin2nYyLdy0L/4sin2nzZLdz=2L3IxIyIz

Hence, the fraction of the total volume is 0.0156.

03

Determine the probability that the particle will be found in the cubical volume defined in part (a)

(b)

For the ground state(nX,nY,nZ)=(1,1,1)the x,y andintegrals are:

Ix=0L/4sin2nxxLdx=L8L4nxsinnx2=L8L4=L21412

IY=0L/4sin2nYyLdy=L8L4nYsinnY2=L8L4=L21412

Iz=0L/4sin2nXzLdz=L8L4nzsinnz2=L8L4=L21412

The probability of the particle in the ground state is:

p1,1,1=2L3L2314123=14123=7.50104

Hence, the probability of the particle in the ground state will be the cubical volume defined in part (a) is 7.5010-4.

04

Determine the probability that the particle when the particle is in the state nX=2,nY=1,nZ=1. 

(c)

For the state(nX,nY,nZ)=(2,1,1) the x,y andintegrals are:

Ix=0L/4sin2nxxLdx=L8L4nxsinnx2=L8L8(0)=L2122

IY=0L/4sin2nYyLdy=L8L4nYsinnY2=L8L4=L21412

Iz=0L/4sin2nxzLdz=L8L4nzsinnz2=L8L4=L21412

The probability of the particle in the ground state is:

p2,1,1=2L3L2314122122=18122=0.0021

Hence, the probability of the when the particle is in the statenX=2,nY=1,nZ=1 is 0.021.

Creating a Particle. Two protons (each with rest massM=1.6710-27kg ) are initially moving with equal speeds in opposite directions. The protons continue to exist after a collision that also produces ann0 particle (see Chapter 44). The rest mass of then0 is m=9.7510-28kg. (a) If the two protons and then0 are all at rest after the collision, find the initial speed of the protons, expressed as a fraction of the speed of light. (b) What is the kinetic energy of each proton? Express your answer in . (c) What is the rest energy of the n0, expressed in ? (d) Discuss the relationship between the answers to parts (b) and (c).

According to the photon model, light carries its energy in packets called quanta or photons. Why then don鈥檛 we see a series of flashes when we look at things?

(a) The x-coordinate of an electron is measured with an uncertainty of 0.30 mm. What is the x-component of the electron鈥檚 velocity,if the minimum percent uncertainty in a simultaneous measurement ofis 1.0% ?(b) Repeat part (a) for a proton.

Question: The human eye is most sensitive to green light of wavelength 505 nm. Experiments have found that when people are kept in a dark room until their eyes adapt to the darkness, a singlephoton of green light will trigger receptor cells in the rods of the retina. (a) What is the frequency of this photon? (b) How much energy (in joules and electron volts) does it deliver to the receptor cells? (c) To appreciate what a small amount of energy this is, calculate how fast a typical bacterium of mass 9.5 x 10-12 g would move if it had that much energy.
