Okay, let's try this again. ##\dfrac{1}{5} - \dfrac{2}{4} + \dfrac{1}{3}## is what?Ashish Somwanshi said:
Sorry, I don't understand how to add three fractions using common denominator, in my first attempt I did the old way but still incorrect. Plz do provide the solution if anyone can solve their way. Either the autograder must be faulty or something I must be missing...topsquark said:
It's 1/12 according to evaluating two fractions one at a time.topsquark said:
No, we do not provide solutions. You really don't understand how to add those fractions? Also, please do not use text speak at PF like "please". Thank you.Ashish Somwanshi said:
Guys, Thank you soo much. I've got a passing grade. It is mind boggling to see myself perform childish mistakes doing advanced quantum physics. I am currently analyzing reasons responsible for such performance.Ashish Somwanshi said:
The infinite potential well problem normalization is a mathematical technique used in quantum mechanics to find the probability of a particle being in a certain position within a confined space. It is commonly used to solve problems involving particles in a one-dimensional box with infinite potential walls.
Normalization is important because it ensures that the total probability of finding a particle within the well is equal to 1. This means that the particle must be somewhere within the well, and the probability of finding it at any point is not greater than 1.
The wave function is normalized by finding the normalization constant, which is the square root of the integral of the wave function squared over the entire well. This constant is then multiplied by the original wave function to ensure that the total probability is equal to 1.
No, the normalization constant must be a positive value. This is because the wave function squared represents the probability density, and probabilities cannot be negative. If the normalization constant were negative, it would result in a negative probability, which is not physically meaningful.
If the wave function is not normalized, the total probability of finding the particle within the well will be greater than 1. This means that the particle could potentially be found outside of the well, which is not possible in the infinite potential well problem. Normalization is necessary to ensure that the results of the problem are physically accurate.
