Propagator of the free particle (9 pt) we are specifically interested in the propagator for a free particle of mass m. a) (1 pt) write down the hamiltonian h for the free particle. what is the action of h on a wave function (x, t)? (explain) b) (2 pt) consider the wave packet described by the the following initial wave function : (c,0) = pipot/ne-32/(442) (2742)1/4" what are the mean position and the mean momentum of this wave packet? c) (3 pt) what are the uncertainty on the momentum and position for this wave packet? is there an uncertainty relation for these two quantities (explain why)? if yes, what is it, and is it respected ? d) (2 pt) consider the classical function w.) = x2. what is the quantum operator 2 associated with this classical function? is it true for this ope- rator that (12(x) =w(( for a gaussian wave packet (x) = ae-(x-a)/(44²) ? e) (1 pt) the time evolution of a wave function can be described by a propagator, \\(t)) = u(t) |_(0)) u(t) = e-it/h given a wave function at t = 0, i. e. v(, 0), and a propagator u(t), what is the wave function (x, t) at any later time t > 0? derive the general expression, in terms of the matrix elements utc) of the propagator and of the initial wave function y(x, 0).

Na food processing facility, a spherical container of inner radius r1 5 40 cm, outer radius r2 5 41 cm, and ther- mal conductivity k 5 1.5 w/m · k is used to store hot water and to keep it at 100°c at all times. to accomplish this, the outer surface of the container is wrapped with a 800-w electric strip heater and then insulated. the temperature of the inner surface of the container is observed to be nearly 120°c at all times. as- suming 10 percent of the heat generated in the heater is lost through the insulation, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the container, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container material by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the outer surface tempera- ture of the container. also determine how much water at 100°c this tank can supply steadily if the cold water enters at 20°c.
