Express the complex number z1 = (√(3) + i)/2 in the form rei Φ. What about z2 = (1 + √(3i))/2? If these complex numbers are the probability amplitudes for photons to be detected, what is the probability in each case?
(Hint: See attatched image for more on finding probability amplitudes)
The treatment of electrons in atoms must be a quantum treatment, but classical physics still works for baseballs. Where is the dividing line? Suppose we consider a spherical virus, with a diameter of 30 nm, constrained to exist in a long, narrow cell of length 1.0 μm. If we treat the virus as a particle in a box, what is the lowest energy level? Is a quantum treatment necessary for the motion of the virus?

Question: A particle of spin 1 and a particle of spin 1/2 are in a configuration for which the total spin is equal to 1/2. If one were to measure the z-component of the spin of the particle with spin=1, what values might one get and what are the probabilities associated with those values?arrow_forwardImagine playing baseball in a universe (not ours!) where the Planck constant is 0.60 J s and thus quantum physics affects macroscopic objects. What would be the uncertainty in the position of a 0.50 kg baseball that is moving at 20 m/s along an axis if the uncertainty in the speed is 1.0 m/s?arrow_forwardP17.5 Another important uncertainty principle is encountered in time-dependent systems. It relates the lifetime of a state At with the measured spread in the photon energy AE associated with the decay of this state to a stationary state of the system. "Derive" the relation AE At ≥ h/2 in the following steps. a. Starting from E = p/2m and AE = (dE/dpx)^px, Vx Apx. show that AE = b. Using vx = Ax/At, show that AE At = ApxAx ≥ h/2. c.

What is it's frequency in HZ and energy in eV? (1 eV= 1.6 x 10-19 joules).

Assume that the emission of a yellow photon is allowed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Also don't worry about the other electron.arrow_forward
- a. Conceptually, discuss the particle-wave duality of light. Discuss the implications of this in combination with the de Broglie (pronounced “de Broy”) equation. b. The electron of a hydrogen atom is usually no further than 1.0 Å from the proton. We can therefore say the upper limit of the radius of an isolated hydrogen atom is roughly 1.0 Å. How does the de Broglie wavelength of the electron compare to this radius? (The velocity of an electron in the first principal energy level is about 2.2 x 106 m/s). Explain why wave-particle duality is so important for quantum mechanics, yet not required in macroscopic systems that are well described by classical mechanics. c. Comment as to whether neutrons with velocity 4.14 x 103 m/s may be used to determine structures of molecules in a diffraction-based experiment.

- HELP ME ASAP 1. The universe has a typical temperature of only 3.0 K. If the intensities of light of different frequencies follow a blackbody distribution, then which frequency of light does the universe give off most? 2. A new, extremely precise apparatus has measured momentum (y component) of a certain proton to be: 5 x 10-28 kg m/s with an uncertainty of only 2 x 10-29 kg m/s. If the y-position of the proton is also measured, approximately what is the lowest possible uncertainty with which this measurement can be made? 3. What electrical force does a Uranium nucleus (Z=92) exert on one of its inner electrons, located at a distance of 175 picometers (=1.75 x 10-10m) ?arrow_forwardAs computer structures get smaller and smaller, quantum rules start to create difficulties. Suppose electrons move through a channel in a microprocessor. If we know that an electron is somewhere along the 50 nm length of the channel, what is Δνx? If we treat the electron as a classical particle moving at a speed at the outer edge of the uncertainty range, how long would it take to traverse the channel?arrow_forwardPhotons 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.arrow_forward
