Homework # 8, Theoretical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics: 5010 Due Wed Oct 31 Problem 1. What is the wavelength of a hydrogen atom moving with a velocity corresponding to the mean kinetic energy at thermal equilibrium at 20 degrees Centigrade? [2 points] Problem 2. If you rewrite the uncertainty relation for a free particle in terms of the uncertainty of its wavelength ∆λ rather than ∆p how will the uncertainty relation look like? [2 points] Problem 3. Consider a virus of size 10 nm. Suppose that its density is roughly equal to that of water and that the virus is located in a region that is approximately equal to its size. What is the minimum speed of the virus? [2 points] Problem 4. Consider a monochromatic beam of light of intensity I (units of J · s−1 · m−2 ) striking a perfectly reflecting surface at 90 degrees to it. Using the concept of photons calculate the radiation pressure. [2 points] Problem 5. Photons in a waveguide have a relation between the wavelength λ and frequency ν different from photons in free space, c λ= q ν 2 − ν02 , where ν0 is some threshold frequency below which propagation of waves in the waveguide is impossible. Still, Einstein’s relations between energy and frequency (E = hν) and momentum and the wavelength (p = h/λ) are valid. a) Find the group velocity of the waveguide photons vg (p) and express it via phonon momentum. [1 point] b) Find the expression of the group velocity via the photon’s phase velocity vp [1 point].
