For a quantum particle of mass m in the ground state of a square well with length L and infinitely high walls, the uncertainty in position is Δx ≈ L. (a) Use the uncertainty principle to estimate the uncertainty in its momentum.(b) Because the particle stays inside the box, its average momentum must be zero. Its average squared momentum is then ⟨p2⟩ ≈ (Δp)2. Estimate the energy of the particle. (c) State how the result of part (b) compares with the actual ground-state energy.

- ∆E ∆t ≥ ħTime is a parameter, not an observable. ∆t is some timescale over which the expectation value of an operator changes. For example, an electron's angular momentum in a hydrogen atom decays from 2p to 1s. These decays are relativistic, however the uncertainty principle is still valid, and we can use it to estimate uncertainties. ∆E doesn't change in time, so when an excited state decays to the ground state (infinite lifetime, so no energy uncertainty), the energy uncertainty has to go somewhere. Usually, it’s in the frequency of a photon giving a width (through E = hν) to the transition line in an spectroscopy experiment. The linewidth of the 2p state in 9Be+ is 19.4 MHz. What is its lifetime? (Note: in the relativistic atom–photon system, the Hamiltonian is independent of time and both energy and its uncertainty are conserved.)arrow_forwardAn electron is confined to a potential well of width 0.350 nm.
