The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a quantum mechanical operator A are denoted
by an and ψn,respectively. If f(x) denotes a function that can be expanded in the
powers of x, show that:
f (A)ψ n = f (an)ψ n
The one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation is
.
a/ A particle of mass m is contained in a one-dimensional box of width a. The potential energy U(x) is infinite at the walls of the box (x = 0 and x = a) and zero in between (0 < x < a).
Show that the solutions have the form: U(x)=Csin(n.pi.x/a) . Find the constant C.
b/ For the case n = 3, find the probability that the particle will be located in the region a/3 <x< 2a/3
.
c/ Sketch the wave-functions and the corresponding probability density distributions for the cases n = 1, 2 and 3.
Q. A particle is confined between rigid walls by a distance L.
(a) Show that the probability P that it will be found within a distance L/3 from one wall is given by
P=1/3[1-sin〖2nπ/3〗/(2nπ/3)]
(b) Evaluate probability for (i) n=1, (ii) n=2, (iii) n=3
