Could the function ψ(x)=Asin(π*x/L) for 0≤x≤L and ψ(x)=0 elsewhere (where A and L are real and positive constants) possibly be a valid quanton wavefunction under the right circumstances? Why or why not? (Hint: Sketching a graph of this wavefunction and its absolute square might prove helpful.)

Consider the Schrodinger equation for a one-dimensional linear harmonic oscillator: -(hbar2/2m) * d2ψ/dx2 + (kx2/2)*ψ(x) = Eψ(x) Substitute the wavefunction ψ(x) = e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) and find ξ and E required to satisfy the Schrodinger equation. [Hint: First calculate the second derivative of ψ(x), then substitute ψ(x) and ψ′′(x). After this substitution, there will be an overall factor of e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) on both sides of the equation which canbe an canceled out. Then, gather all terms which depend on x into one coefficient multiplying x2. This coefficient must be zero because the equation must be satisfied for any x, and equating it with zero yields the expression for ξ. Finally, the remaining x-independent part of the equation determines the eigenvalue for energy E associated with this solution.]

(Requires integral calculus.) Imagine that a quanton's wavefunction at a given time is y(x) Ae-x/al, where A is an unspecified = constant and a = 35 nm . If we were to perform an experiment to locate the quanton at this time, what would be the probability (as a percent) of a result within ±0.47 a = ±16.45 nm of the origin? The probability is Note: Round the final answer to one decimal place. %.

Photons released by nuclear decays tend to be in the MeV range, and atomic nuclei are a few femtometers (10-15 m) across. If a single proton trapped in an inescapable rectangular box releases a 1.3 MeV photon when dropping from the n = 2 to the n = 1 state, how wide is the box, in femtometers? You should find that this quick and dirty estimate is remarkably close to the real size of a nucleus! The proton mass is about 1.7 x 10-27 kg. 1 MeV = 1.6 x 10-13 J. Planck's constant is approximately h = 6.6 x 10-34 J s.
Imagine we model a proton inside an atom’s nucleus as if it were a particle in a one-dimensional box. In this case, the width of the box should be approximately 10 fm. What are the energies of the proton for the ground state, first excited, and second excited state? If the proton dropped from the first excited or second excited to the groud state by emitting a photon, what energy would the photon carry in each case?
