Get started for freeCan the de Broglie wavelength of a particle be known precisely? Can the position of a particle be known precisely?
A particle with mass 0.030 kg oscillates back-andforth on a spring with frequency \(4.0 \mathrm{Hz}\). At the equilibrium position, it has a speed of \(0.60 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the particle is in a state of definite energy, find its energy quantum number.
Suppose a wave function is discontinuous at some point. Can this function represent a quantum state of some physical particle? Why? Why not?
Can we measure the energy of a free localized particle with complete precision?
A 5.0-eV electron impacts on a barrier of with 0.60 nm. Find the probability of the electron to tunnel through the barrier if the barrier height is (a) \(7.0 \mathrm{eV} ;\) (b) \(9.0 \mathrm{eV} ;\) and (c) \(13.0 \mathrm{eV}\)
