The temperature at some instant (t = 0) of a laterally insulated solid rod of 1 unit length is given by ?(?,?) = sin ?? for 0 x 1, where x is measured from left end of the rod to the other end on the right. Also, at time t = 0, the left end of the rod is subjected to 0oC and maintained over the time, while the right end is insulated when t > 0. Note that the term x in the expression of the temperature is in radian. The temperature variation in the rod,
?(?,?), satisfies the heat equation: ?? ?? = ?( 2 ?^2? /??^ 2 )
Solve the above heat equation numerically with del x = 0.2 and del t = 0.04 using explicit formula: ?(?? ,??+1) = ??(??−1,??) + (1 − 2?)?(?? ,??) + ??(??+1,??)
Given that, c ^2 = 0.1 and ? = ? ^2 Δ? (Δ?)2 .
Estimate the numerical values for ?(?,?) at t = 0.08, giving your answers at 4 decimal points

An electron is trapped in a square well of unknown width, L. It starts in unknown energy level, n. When it falls to level n-1 it emits a photon of wavelength λphoton = 2280 nm. When it falls from n-1 to n-2, it emits a photon of wavelength λphoton = 3192 nm.
1) What is the energy of the n to n-1 photon in eV?
En to n-1 =
2) What is the energy of the n-1 to n-2 photon in eV?

. As input you are given two arrays: an array of numbers ? and an array ? of queries where each query is a target number. The array ? is unsorted and may contain duplicates. Your goal is, for each query ? in the array ?, count the number of pairs in the array ? that sums up to ?; that is, the number of distinct pairs of indices [?, ?], with ? < ?, such that ?[?] + ?[?] = ?. Write a method, twoSumQuery, that given an array of numbers ? and an array ? of queries, returns an array ? with the same length as ?, such that for every index ?, ?[?] is the answer to query ?[?]. Let ? denote the length of ? and ? the length of ?. Suppose that in the actual input for this problem, we have the condition that ? > ? . For example, ? = 1000 and ? = 10,000,000. Your method must have time complexity ?(?).
The following is a few sample runs:
Input : ? = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], ? = [1, 3, 6, 10]
Return: [1, 2, 1, 0]
Explanation: One pair in ? sums up to 1, namely (0, 1). Two pairs in ? sum up to 3, namely (0, 3) and (1, 2). One pair in ? sum up to 6, namely (2, 4). No pair in ? sums up to 10.
