Q # 01: Consider a ball of 100g dropped with zero velocity from the height of 2m.
Estimate its total energy in eV units.
Using the energy conservation, find out the velocity as a function of position of the ball. Sketch its phase trajectory.
Calculate the time it takes to reach the ground.
Let’s assume that it is bounced back with no loss in its total energy.Will it reachthe same height? Make an analytical argument.
What if the collision with the ground is not elastic and it loses some of its energy (which energy?).The ball will eventually come to rest after bouncing few times. Sketch the phase trajectory for the whole duration.
What is the range of total energy of this system? Can the energy of this systemassume discrete values? Explain mathematically.
In his original paper, de Broglie suggested that E = hv and
p = h/λ, which hold for electromagnetic waves, are also valid
for moving particles. Use these relationships to show that the
group velocity ug of a de Broglie wave group is given by dE/dp,
and with the help of Eq. (1.24), verify that vg = v for a particle
of velocity v.
Suppose someone is running a fever of 102.0° F (average being 98.6° F). How much more power (in Watts) does this person radiate than when this person is at normal human body temperature, assuming the fever causes no swelling or edema, or emaciation? Remember that for thermal radiators, intensity I = sigma T^4; where sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is temperature in Kelvins.

- Consider the Schrodinger equation for a one-dimensional linear harmonic oscillator: -(hbar2/2m) * d2ψ/dx2 + (kx2/2)*ψ(x) = Eψ(x) Substitute the wavefunction ψ(x) = e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) and find ξ and E required to satisfy the Schrodinger equation. [Hint: First calculate the second derivative of ψ(x), then substitute ψ(x) and ψ′′(x). After this substitution, there will be an overall factor of e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) on both sides of the equation which canbe an canceled out. Then, gather all terms which depend on x into one coefficient multiplying x2. This coefficient must be zero because the equation must be satisfied for any x, and equating it with zero yields the expression for ξ. Finally, the remaining x-independent part of the equation determines the eigenvalue for energy E associated with this solution.]arrow_forwardE Suppose an electron is in the ground state of hydrogen.
