Draw a rough sketch of the potential, Assuming the plane wave solution is incident from left
to right. Find the reflection and transmission coefficient. For −5 < E < 0, and for E > 0.
2. The wave function for a particle of mass M in a one-dimensional potential V (x) is given by
the expression
(
α.x. exp{−βx}. exp{iγt}, x>0
ψ(x, t) =
0, x<0
Obtain an expression for the probability of finding the particle outside the classical region.
4. An particle of mass m is moving in a 3D infinite square well potential;
(
0, if 0 ≤ x, y, z ≤ L
V (x, y, z) =
∞, otherwise
Use separation of variables in cartesian coordinates and
(a) Find the stationary states and the corresponding energies.
(b) Call the distinct energies En , in order of increasing energy. where n2 = n2x + n2y + n2z , and
determine their degeneracies (that is, the number of different states that share the same
energy) up to n2 < 28.
6. For an isotropic 3D harmonic oscillator, of force constant k is uniform in all direction and mass
m, calculate the energy eigenstates and degeneracy up to n ≤ 4, where n = nx + ny + nz .
