A particle is in one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential V (x) = 1/2 mω²x², where m is mass of the particle and ω is the frequency. The initial wave function for this particle at time t = 0 is given by a linear combination of two stationary states:
Ψ(x, t = 0) = A [3e^(iΦ₁)Ψ₁ + √7 Ψ₂]
Here Φ₁ is given real constant and Ψ₁, Ψ₂ are the (real) eigenfunctions of the time-independent Schrödinger equation for harmonic oscillator corresponding to the first and second excited level respectively.
(a) Compute the expectation value of position in state Ψ(x, t).
(b) Compute the expectation value of momentum in state Ψ(x, t) (explicit calculation, not Ehrenfest theorem).
(c) Verify that Ehrenfest theorem is satisfied.
(d) At time T, the measurement of energy was performed, and the result was E2. What is the particle wave function at time t >T?

For this problem use ladder operators and orthonormality condition for eigenfunctions. There is no need to write down explicit formulae for wave functions with Hermite polynomials.

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vectors are perpendicular to the magnetic field. suppose the magnetic field is strong enough to allow the particles to circle in the field. note: you'll need to look up the masses for an electron and proton. 1) what is the ratio of the radii of their circular paths rp/re?

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70 mv across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell from the extracellular fluid. this potential difference is maintained by ion pumps that move charged ions across the membrane. is this an emf? select the correct answer and explanation. 1)no. the ion pumps cannot separate charges; thus, they cannot create a potential difference. 2)yes. the ion pumps cannot separate charges, but they still can create a potential difference. 3)yes. the ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference. 4)no. the ion pumps can separate charges, but they cannot create a potential difference.
