Get started for freeIf two (or more) distinct44solutions to the (time-independent) Schrödinger equation have the same energy E . These states are said to be degenerate. For example, the free particle states are doubly degenerate-one solution representing motion to the right. And the other motion to the left. But we have never encountered normalizable degenerate solutions, and this is no accident. Prove the following theorem: In one dimension45 there are no degenerate bound states. Hint: Suppose there are two solutions, and with the same energy E. Multiply the Schrödinger equation for by and the Schrödinger equation for by and subtract, to show that is a constant. Use the fact that for normalizable solutions to demonstrate that this constant is in fact zero.Conclude that s a multiple of and hence that the two solutions are not distinct.
-consider the “step” potential:
a.Calculate the reflection coefficient, for the case E < V0, and comment on the answer.
b. Calculate the reflection coefficient, for the case E >V0.
c. For potential such as this, which does not go back to zero to the right of the barrier, the transmission coefficient is not simply (with A the incident amplitude and F the transmitted amplitude), because the transmitted wave travels at a different speed . Show that,for E >V0. What is T for E < V0?
d. For E > V0, calculate the transmission coefficient for the step potential, and check that T + R = 1.
Analyze the odd bound state wave functions for the finite square well. Derive the transcendental equation for the allowed energies and solve it graphically. Examine the two limiting cases. Is there always an odd bound state?
Consider the double delta-function potentialWhereand are positive constants
(a) Sketch this potential.
(b) How many bound states does it possess? Find the allowed energies, forand for, and sketch the wave functions.
Normalize the equation 2.151, to determine the constants D and F.
