Q.1
In quantum mechanics, one may picture a wave function in either momentum space or
configuration space. If the wave function in momentum space is (p) = N / (p2 + 2), then
calculate the wave function in configuration space (aside from a multiplicative constant).
Q.2
(a) exp ( - 2 x2 / 2)
(b) exp( - | x | / )
(c) sin(px / )
(d) cos(px / )
Consider the two-body decay of a particle X which is at rest in the laboratory and of mass
M in its rest-frame into a particle A of mass mA and another particle which is mass less.
The energy of the particle A in the laboratory frame is (c = 1):
