Consider the half oscillator" in which a particle of mass m is restricted to the region x > 0 by the potential energy U(x) = 00 for a O where k is the spring constant. What are the energies of the ground state and fırst excited state? Explain your reasoning. Give the energies in terms of the oscillator frequency wo = Vk/m. Formulas.pdf (Click here-->)
What would happen to the incident wave Þ(x) = Aelk* at x < 0 that sees a step potential in the form V(x) = iT in the positive x region? Here i is complex number and I is positive real number. (a) Explain in detail (perform some calculations too). (b) Calculate the reflection and transmission coefficients.
Write down the equations and the associated boundary conditions for solving particle in a 1-D box of dimension L with a finite potential well, i.e., the potential energy U is zero inside the box, but finite outside the box. Specifically, U = U₁ for x L. Assuming that particle's energy E is less than U, what form do the solutions take? Without solving the problem (feel free to give it a try though), qualitatively compare with the case with infinitely hard walls by sketching the differences in wave functions and probability densities and describing the changes in particle momenta and energy levels (e.g., increasing or decreasing and why), for a given quantum number.
