Using the concept of standing waves, de Broglie was able to derive Bohr’s stationary orbit postulate. He assumed a confined electron could exist only in states where its de Broglie waves form standing wave patterns. Consider a particle confined in a box of length L to be equivalent to a string of length L and fixed at both ends. Apply de Broglie’s concept to show that (a) the linear momentum of this particle is quantized with p = mv = nh/2L and (b) the allowed states correspond to particle energies of En = n 2E 0, where E 0 = h 2/(8mL2)
An electron is confined between two perfectly reflecting walls separated by the distance 12 x 10-11m. Use the Heisenberg uncertainty relation to estimate the lowest energy that the particle can have (in eV).
Show that the wave function ψ = Ae i(i-ωt) is a solution to the Schrödinger equation (as shown), where k = 2π/λ and U = 0.
