1.Blackbody Radiation
Using the Planck distribution law, 8πh(ν/c)^3
ρ(ν) = ───────
e^(hν/kT) - 1

is known as the Wien displacement law. (15%)
(h=6.6260755×10^-34 Js, k=1.380658×10^-23 JK^-1)
2.de Broglie's Matter Wave
What is the de Broglie wavelength of a nitrogen molecule at room temperature
? Compare this to the average distance between nitrogen molecules in a gas
at 1 bar at room temperature. (15%)
3.Uncertainty Principle
Estimate the zero-point energies for the following systems by using the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle ΔxΔp ≧ h/2:
a)A particle confined in a box of length a.
b)A particle in a three dimensional box with sides of length a,b and c.
c)A harmonic oscillator with frequency ν. The total energy for a simple
harmonic oscillator is given by E = (p^2)/2m + k(x^2)/2 , where
k = 4 π^2 m ν^2 .
(Hint:You need to treat the position uncertainty(say ξ~Δx) as a
variational parameter. Minimize E(ξ) with respect to ξ to obtain the
best result. The final result of zero-point energy should have both
kinetic and potential contributions. )
d)A particle constrained in a ring with radius R. Instead of using
uncertainty principle, solve this problem directly from Schrodinger
-
h^2 d^2
equation: -─── ─── Ψ(ψ) = EΨ(ψ)
2m R^2 dψ^2
with boundary condition, Ψ(ψ+2π) = Ψ(ψ)
Express your answers in terms of the mass of the particle m, Planck
-
constant h and relevant length scales for each particular system. You
have to show your reasoning for each problem to get full credits.

5.Variation Principle ^
If we use Ψ as a trial wavefunction for Hamiltonian H, where
ψ0 + aψ1

(1+a^2)^(1/2)

a=0 and corresponding optimal eigenvalue is E0. (10%)
