The probability distributions for the harmonic-oscillator wave functions (see Figs. 40.27 and 40.28) begin to resemble the classical (Newtonian) probability distribution when the quantum number n becomes large. Would the distributions become the same as in the classical case in the limit of very large n? Explain.
Under what conditions is average velocity equal to instantaneous velocity?
In Fig. 40.28, how does the probability of finding a particle in the center half of the region compare to the probability of finding the particle in the outer half of the region? Is this consistent with the physical interpretation of the situation?
The only two stable nuclides with more protons than neutrons are and . why is so uncommon?
In Example 43.9 (Section 43.4), the activity of atmospheric carbon before was given. Discuss why this activity may have changed since.
