Analysis of the photon absorption spectrum of a diatomic molecule shows that the vibrational energy levels for small values of n are very nearly equally spaced but the levels for large n are not equally spaced. Discuss the reason for this observation. Do you expect the adjacent levels to move closer together or farther apart as n increases? Explain.
Human skin is relatively insensitive to visible light, but ultraviolet radiation can cause severe burns. Does this have anything to do with photon energies? Explain.
Particle A is described by the wave function. Particle B is described by the wave function, whereis a real constant. How does the probability of finding particle A within a volume dV around a certain point in space compare with the probability of finding particle B within this same volume?
Why do you think the development of Newtonian mechanics preceded the more refined relativistic mechanics by so many years?
In Fig. 40.12b, the probability function is zero at the points x= 0 and x= L, the “walls” of the box. Does this mean that the particle never strikes the walls? Explain.
