Thanks again for the help! Using a BC of (\psi)(0) = 0 the question works out much better. I found one mistake in the question, and I'm guessing another was made and that it was intended to be a 1D version of a radial problem, given the notation of R0 which was only used for those types of...

Thanks for the reply! I solved for B, yielding -Atan(kRo), and subbing that back into the BC equation gave me the condition: Asin(kR0) -Atan(kR0) = 0 which i think is only true for: k = n(\pi)R0 However in order to normalize this and find A, I need to integrate from -infinity to...

Homework Statement An electron is trapped in a 1D potential described by: V(x) = 0 if x < R0 V(x) = infinity if x > R0 Electron is in lowest energy state, and experiment shows that: (\Delta)x = sqrt(<x2> - <x>2) = 0.181 x 10-10 Show that <x> = 0.5R0 Homework Equations...

I'm trying to write a program to model a simple pendulum, and I'm having some trouble seeing how I would solve for the position w.r.t. time. I would ultimately like to be able to specify a length of string, acceleration due to gravity, mass (though I know it has no effect on the period) and...
