1) Suppose you have particle on a ring with the wavefunction1:

?_m(?) = 1/(sqrt(2pi)) * e^(im(?))

(m = 0, ±1, ±2, …)

a. Do you know anything about where the particle is on the ring? Does

m matter in this determination?

b. Do you know the angular momentum exactly?

2) Suppose the same particle were described with the wavefunction2:

?_m (?) = 1/(sqrt(2pi)) * cos (m?)

(m = 0, ±1, ±2, …)

c. Now do you know anything about where the particle is on the ring?

Does m matter in this?

d. Do you know the angular momentum exactly?

e. Re-write your wavefunction2 in terms of exponential functions and

use this to explain your answer to d.

1. Write the Schrodinger equation for particle on a ring, and rearrange it until you have the following: ? 2? ??2 = − 2?? ℏ 2 ? … a) Assuming that ?? 2 = 2?? ℏ 2 , (where ml is a quantum number and has nothing to do with mass), show that the following is a solution for the Schrodinger equation you obtained: ?(?) = ? ? ????… b)Now think about bounds of variable ?. Using that argue that...

Problem 1. Suppose that R is a commutative ring with addition “+” and multiplication “·”, and that I a subset of R is an ideal in R. In other words, suppose that I is a subring of R such that (x is in I and y is in R) implies x · y is in I. Define the relation “~” on R by y ~ x if and only if y − x is in I, and assume for the...

Problem 1: The energy E of a particle of mass m moving at speed v is given by: E2 = m2 c4 + p2 c2 (1) p=γmv (2) 1 γ = 1−v2/c2 (3) This means that if something is at rest, it’s energy is mc2. We can define a kinetic energy to be the difference between the total energy of an object given by equation (1) and the rest energy mc2. What would be the kinetic energy of a baseball...
