An electron is bound in a square well of width 1.05 nm and depth U0=6E∞, where E∞ is the ground-state energy for an infinitely deep potential well.If the electron is initially in the ground level, E1=0.625E∞ , and absorbs a photon, what maximum wavelength can the photon have and still liberate the electron from the well?
Express the complex number z1 = (√(3) + i)/2 in the form rei Φ. What about z2 = (1 + √(3i))/2? If these complex numbers are the probability amplitudes for photons to be detected, what is the probability in each case?
(Hint: See attatched image for more on finding probability amplitudes)
This question is for modern physics and wave and particle:
(a) To how small a region must an electron be confined for borderline relativistic speeds – say, 0.05c – to become reasonably likely? (Ans: 3.9×10^−12m ) (b) On the basis of this, would you expect relativistic effects to be prominent for hydrogen’s electron, which has an orbit radius near 10-10? For a lead atom “inner-shell” electron of orbit radius 10-12m?

- Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy.
