Finding the ground-state radial wave function R(r) and the ground-state energy.

A Particle of mass m is in a three-dimensional spherically-symmetric harmonic oscillator potential given by V(r)=(1/2)Kr^2 The particle is in the l=0 state. Find the ground-state radial wave function R(r) and the ground-state energy.

Determine whether or not the particle is in an eigenstate of Lz.

A particle is confined in a cubic bow with edge of length a, with V=0 inside the box. The particle is in its ground state, determine whether or not the particle is in an eigenstate of Lz. I do not know how to do this, eigenstate? Detailed solution needed, please.

Semi-infinite square well.

Consider the semi-infinite square well given by V(x)=-Vo<0 for 0<=x<=a and V(x)=0 for x>a. There is an infinite barrier at x=0. A particle with mass m is in a bound state in this potential energy E<=0. a) solve the Schroedinger Eq to derive phi(x) for x=>0. Use the appropriate boundary conditions and normalized the wave funct ...continues

Hamiltonian Operator

Please help with the attached problem.

The "radius of the hydrogen atom" is often taken to be on the order of about 10^-10m. If a measurement is made to determine the location of the electron for hydrogen in its ground state, what is the probability of finding the eletron withen 10^(-10) m of the nucleus?
