An electron is in a finite square well that is 0.6 eV deep, and 2.1 nm wide. Calculate the value of the dimensionless potential (to 3 s.f).
A particle in the infinite square well has as its initial wave function an even mixture of the first two stationary states: (x,0) = A [v₁ (x) + ₂(x)]. (a) Normalize (x, 0). (That is, find A. This is very easy, if you exploit the orthonormality of 1 and 2. Recall that, having normalized at t = 0, you can rest assured that it stays normalized—if you doubt this, check it explicitly after doing part (b).) (c) (b) Find (x, t) and (x, t)|². Express the latter as a sinusoidal function of time, as in Example 2.1. To simplify the result, let w = ²ħ/2ma². Compute (x). Notice that it oscillates in time. What is the angular frequency of the oscillation? What is the amplitude of the oscillation? (If your amplitude is greater than a /2, go directly to jail.) (d) Compute (p).
