For the infinitely deep square
well evaluate the momentum operator acting on any wavefunction that solves the
Schrödinger equation can be written as. Here, ym(x)
are the stationary solutions to Schrödinger equation. Evaluate the coefficients am
explicitely.
a) Ohanian #9, p.94 (Evaluate the Fourier transform explicitly).
b) Plot the functions |y(x)|2 and |f(p)|2 in suitable intervals.
a)
Derive the solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger
equation for the finite square well described by the potential in eq. (77) in
Ohanian. For the region |x|<L choose
a solution that is proportional to sin(ax)
and show that the energy eigenvalues are determined by solutions to .
b)
Show that in the limit the expression
reduces to the energy
quantization condition for the infinite square well.
