If Nq electrons are contained in the volume at absolute zero temperature, describe how you would count the number of states/orbitals in the system.
A particle is trapped in the infinite cubical volume of side L. Derive normalized wave functions and energies of the particle using the T.I.S.E.
Using the separation of variables technique, derive the time-independent Schrodinger equation (T.I.S.E.) in three dimensions.
State the time-dependent Schrodinger equation in three dimensions. State the meaning of all the terms in the equation.
Consider a one-dimensional infinite square well with N particles. Given that all particles occupy the ground state, calculate the total energy of the system. Now assume that each energy level can hold no more than two particles. Calculate the energy of the ground state of the system and the maximum particle energy called the Fermi energy. Find an expression for the density of states for the infinite square well.
