Get started for freeAn electron confined in a harmonic potential well emits a 1200nm photon as it undergoes a quantum jump. What is the spring constant of the potential well?
Suppose that and are both solutions to the Schrödinger equation for the same potential energy . Prove that the superposition is also a solution to the Schrödinger equation.
a. What is the probability that an electron will tunnel through aair gap from a metal to a STM probe if the work function is ?
b. The probe passes over an atom that is“tall.” By what factor does the tunneling current increase?
c. If a current change is reliably detectable, what is the smallest height change the STM can detect?
Use the data from Figure 40.24 to calculate the first three vibrational energy levels of a carbon-oxygen double bond.
The correspondence principle says that the average behavior of a quantum system should begin to look like the Newtonian solution in the limit that the quantum number becomes very large. What is meant by “the average behavior” of a quantum system?
