The wave function shown in Fig. 40.20 is nonzero for both. Does this mean that the particle splits into two parts when it strikes the barrier, with one part tunneling through the barrier and the other part bouncing off the barrier? Explain
In what ways do atoms in a diatomic molecule behave as though they were held together by a spring? In what ways is this a poor description of the interaction between the atoms?
Most black-and-white photographic film (with the exception of some special-purpose films) is less sensitive to red light than blue light and has almost no sensitivity to infrared. How can these properties be understood on the basis of photons?
Use the band model to explain how it is possible for some materials to undergo a semiconductor-to-metal transition as the temperature or pressure varies.
It is stated in Section 40.3 that a finite potential well always has at least one bound level, no matter how shallow the well. Does this mean that as ? Does this violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Explain
