Which of these pairs of quantities can possibly be measured simulta-

neously and precisely:

(a) x-coordinate of position and y-coordinate of position: x, y [4]

(b) x-coordinate of position and momentum in x-direction: x, px [4]

(d) z-component of angular momentum and total angular momentum squared: Lz, L2 [4]

In the cases where simultaneous measurement is possible, what is the condition on the wavefunction that would have to be satisfied in order for the measurement to be precise.

Solutions

Expert Solution

The correct option is (b)....

Because, for the simultaneously , they should be follow the canonical conditions like [x, Px] = 1

Since, only option (b) meet the above relationship..

Therefore, answer is...

(b) x-coordinate of position and momentum in x-direction: x, px

The x coordinate of an electron is measured with an uncertainty of 0.200 mmmm . What is vxvxv_x, the x component of the electron's velocity, if the minimum percentage uncertainty in a simultaneous measurement of vxvxv_x is 1.00 %% ? Use the following expression for the uncertainty principle: ΔxΔpx≥ℏΔxΔpx≥ℏ, where ΔxΔx is the uncertainty in the x coordinate of a particle, ΔpxΔpx is the particle's uncertainty in the x component of momentum, and ℏ=h2πℏ=h2π, where hh is Planck's constant.

In the study of a storage dam design, it is assumed that quantities can be measured sufficiently accurately in units of ¼ of the dam’s capacity. It is known from past studies that at the beginning of the first (fiscal) year the dam will be either full, ¾ full, ½ full, or ¼ full, with probabilities 1/3, 1/3, 1/6, and 1/6, respectively. During each year water is released. The amount released is ½ the capacity if at least this much...
