REVIEW OF WAVE MECHANICS
... A particle of mass moving in one dimension is attached by a spring (with spring constant K) to a wall at x=0. (a) What are the energy levels of this system? [2 marks] Hint: this situation is similar to the simple harmonic oscillator except that the wave function must be zero at the wall. (b) If th ...

Posttest for Uncertainty Principle Part 1
... 1. Ignore normalization issues pertaining to the wave function. At time t=0, the wave packet of a quantum mechanical particle is highly peaked and can be effectively described by a delta function (x) . Is the momentum of this particle well-defined at t=0? Is the position of the particle well-defin ...
