To determine

The sketch of wave function.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The wave function contains all information about a system. The graph of wave function for state n=1,2,3 respectively will contain extrema as 1,2,3 respectively.

For n=5 state, the graph of wave function has 5 extrema in the interval 0<x<L . It will decay in regions 0<x and x>L as shown below.

1.0 kg block of ice to melt in the kitchen. The temperature in the kitchen is 31 °C. The ice starts out at 0 °C and takes an hour to melt and reach the same temperature as the surrounding room (31 °C). How much heat does the 1.0 kg of ice/water absorb from the room as it melts and heats up to 31 °C in Joules absorbed? Latent heat of fusion for water/ice is 334,000 J/kg Specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg°C
5.84 If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uni- form, massive rope is μ, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding? 5.97 Block A, with weight Figure P5.97 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A.
