- The 1D model of a crystal puts the following constraint on the wave number .
Assume that
and plot the constraint as a function of .
Plot the allowed energy bands on an energy axis assuming eV and the spacing between atoms is 5 Angstroms.
- In a 1D square well, there is always at least one bound state.
Assume the width of the square well is .
By the uncertainty principle, the kinetic energy of an electron localized to that width is
.
How can there be a bound state even for small values of ?
- At a particle is in the one dimensional Harmonic Oscillator state
.
Is correctly normalized?
Compute the expected value of as a function of time
by doing the integrals in the representation.
- Prove the Schwartz inequality
.
(Start from the fact that
for any .
