Ah so they are different. Okay so what I did, which I guess is wrong was cancel the two exponential time factors since they were e^(-iEt/hbar) and e^(-iEt/hbar) In that case then still, what exactly is the oscillating frequency? omega?

Homework Statement Consider a particle in an infinite square well potential that has the initial wave-function: Ψ(x,0) = (1/√2) [Ψ_1(x) + Ψ_2(x)] where Ψ_1(x) and Ψ_2(x) are the ground and first excited state wavefunctions. We notice that <x> oscillates in time. FIND the frequency of...

Homework Statement [This is the best image I could find] The link on the bottom part of the rails is now removed creating two parallel wires that are not connected (so no longer U shaped but just two rails). Now a wire of length L, mass m and resistance R slides without friction down parallel...
