Show that|ψ|2=|ψ|2 , with related as in Eq. 38-14. That is, show that the probability density does not depend on the time variable.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value 1 is does not depend on the time variable that shows that the probability density does not depend on the time variable.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the concept and the formula

In the year 1900, derived a formula that shows the relationship between all the wavelength and all the temperatures and that is given as Equation 38-14 in book and also known as the Planck’s radiation law

Sλ=2πc2hλ51ehcλKt-1

Here, h is the Planck constant, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature of the radiating surface (in kelvins), λis wavelength S is thermal radiation.

02

Determine the derivation as:

By referring the equation number 38-14 solve for the derivation as:

ψ2=eikx2ψ2=eikx*eikx=e-ikxeikxψ2=e0=1ψ2=ψ2

The value 1 is does not depend on the time variable that shows that the probability density does not depend on the time variable.

Question: The function φ(x)displayed in Eq. 38-27 can describe a free particle, for which the potential energy is U(x)=0 in Schrodinger’s equation (Eq. 38-19). Assume now that U(x)=U0=a constant in that equation. Show that Eq. 38-27 is a solution of Schrodinger’s equation, with k=2πh2m(E-U0)giving the angular wave number k of the particle.

(a) Find the wavelength at which its spectral radiancy is maximum and

(b) identify the type of magnetic wave corresponding to that wavelength.

(c) As we shall discuss in chapter 44, the universe is approximately an ideal blackbody radiator with radiation emitted when atoms first formed. Today the spectral radiancy of that radiation peaks at a wavelength of 1.06 mm (in the microwave region). What is the corresponding temperature of the universe?
