Consider the wave function V222(x, ỹ, z) for a particle in a cubic box. Figure 4.45a shows a contour plot in a cut plane at ž = 0.75. (a) Convince yourself that the contour plot in a cut at ž = 0.25 would have the same pattern, but each positive peak would become negative, and vice versa. (b) Describe the shape of this wave function in a plane cut at ỹ = 0.5.
Consider a fictitious one-dimensional system with one electron.The wave function for the electron, drawn below, isψ (x)= sin x from x = 0 to x = 2π. (a) Sketch the probabilitydensity, ψ2(x), from x = 0 to x = 2π. (b) At what value orvalues of x will there be the greatest probability of finding theelectron? (c) What is the probability that the electron willbe found at x = π? What is such a point in a wave functioncalled?
Imagine a particle free to move in the x direction. Which of the following wavefunctions would be acceptable for such a particle? In eachcase, give your reasons for accepting or rejecting each function. (i) Ψ(x)=x2; (ii) Ψ(x)=1/x; (iii) Ψ(x)=e-x^2.
