ConcepTest #69 The time independent Schroedinger equation for the particle in the box is (inside the box). The wave function is proposed as a possible solution to the Schroedinger equation. Which of the following is ?
ConcepTest #70 According to the Schroedinger equation, the behavior of the wave function in a given region of x depends on whether E > U or E < U in that region. Which of the following is correct about the graph of vs. x ? 1. When E > U, curves towards the axis, and thus is exponential. 2. When E > U, curves away from the axis, and thus is exponential. 3. When E > U, curves towards the axis, and thus is oscillatory. 4. When E > U, curves away from the axis, and thus is oscillatory.
ConcepTest #71 A particle with total energy E > U 2 is approaching a step barrier with U 2 > U 2, as sketched. Consider the region 1 to the left of the step, and the region 2 to the right of the step, as shown, along with the following choices: a) Where is the kinetic energy of the particle larger? b) Where is the wavelength of the particle larger?
