Place the balloon in a bell jar. If available also add some shaving cream and fresh marshmallows. Ask the instructor for help if you are unfamiliar with this apparatus. The motor of the vacuum pump will remove air from the bell jar when it is turned on. Make a prediction about what you think will happen to the balloon as air is removed from the bell jar.

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

What are similarities and differences of reflection, refraction, diffraction and absorption?

We put a force of 50n on an object and the acceleration is 100 m/s². what is the mass of the object?
