Problem 1.6.5. A magnetic moment µ in a magnetic field h has energy E+ = Fµh when it is parallel (antiparallel) to the field. Its lowest energy state is when it is aligned with h. probabilities for being parallel or antiparallel given by P(par)/P(antipar) = exp(-E+/T]/ exp[-E-/T] where T is the absolute temperature. Using the fact that the total probability must add up to 1, evaluate the absolute probabilities for the two orientations. Using this show that the average magnetic moment along the field h is m = µ tanh(uh/T) Sketch this as a function of temperature at fixed h. Notice that if h = 0, m vanishes since the moment points up and down with %3D However at any finite temperature, it has a nonzero %3D equal probability. Thus h is the cause of a nonzero m. Calculate the susceptibility, dm lh=0 as a function of T.
Problem 2.14 In the ground state of the harmonic oscillator, what is the probability (correct to three significant digits) of finding the particle outside the classically allowed region? Hint: Classically, the energy of an oscillator is E = (1/2) ka² = (1/2) mo²a², where a is the amplitude. So the “classically allowed region" for an oscillator of energy E extends from –/2E/mw² to +/2E/mo². Look in a math table under “Normal Distribution" or "Error Function" for the numerical value of the integral, or evaluate it by computer.

Problem 4.25 If electron, radius [4.138] 4πεmc2 What would be the velocity of a point on the "equator" in m /s if it were a classical solid sphere with a given angular momentum of (1/2) h? (The classical electron radius, re, is obtained by assuming that the mass of the electron can be attributed to the energy stored in its electric field with the help of Einstein's formula E = mc2). Does this model make sense? (In fact, the experimentally determined radius of the electron is much smaller than re, making this problem worse).
