Transmission coefficients of a 1D particle in delta potentials

(See attached file for full problem description) --- 4. A particle of mass m, with energy E>0, is moving in the potential V(x) = g a. Write down the solution of the Schrodinger equation in all three regions (xa) for this situation. Assume that the particle is incident from the left. b. Write down th ...continues

Calculate the standard deviation of the energy for a particle in a state, which is a superposition of two stationary states with coefficients c1 and c2. Do this calculation in two ways: (i) using the wave function of this state and a standard deviation of quantum mechanical averages, and (ii) using the probabilistic interpretation of the coefficients c1 and c2. Did you get the same results?

what are the minimum and maximum values of the coordinates of the respective classical oscillator with a given energy E?)

In the ground state of the harmonic oscillator, what is the probability (correct to three significant digits) of finding the particle outside the classically allowed region? (Hint: what are the minimum and maximum values of the coordinates of the respective classical oscillator with a given energy E?) Look in math tables under “ ...continues
