1. (McQuarrie 3-15) Show that the average position (x) = 1/2 for all states of a 1-D particle in a box of length a. Is this result physically reasonable? 2. (McQuarrie 3-16) Show that the average momentum (p) = 0 for all states of a 1-D particle in a box of length a. Does (p) = 0 mean that the particle is not moving? Explain.

A glow worm of mass 5.0 g emits red light (650nm) with a power of 0.10W entirely in the backward direction. To what speed will it have accelerated after 10y if released into free space and assumed to live? Energy emitted = P(W)-At(s). Assume the conservation of linear momentum, which means that the loss of a photon imparts an equivalent momentum in the opposite direction. total energy The total momentum imparted to the glow-worm: p = Npphoton where energy/photon x= 650nm N = Energy emitted p = mv Energyphoton V= = { PglowwormN Pphoton N = # of photons = Pphoton = momentum/photon 5g=00005kg = (mv) glowworm At =10yrs => At-see Total Energy = Pat energy/photon = (E=hr) = hec Pphoton = 12 숫
