Got my BS in Physics few months ago, had one interview for an entry level analyst for an education company, but no call back after the initial phone interview. Found the job on indeed.com I have my BS from ASU and live in Arizona currently. I have become accustomed to not finding many jobs...

I just got my BS in Physics from Arizona State University (transferred from UC Irvine in CA after decided I didn't want to pursue biology major there and came back to AZ to live with family and work and pursue physics because I like it) I graduated yesterday and have a fire burning inside me...

Homework Statement Consider a classical one-dimensional nonlinear oscillator whose energy is given by \epsilon=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}+ax^{4} where x,p, and m have their usual meanings; the paramater, a, is a constant a) If the oscillator is in equilibrium with a heat bath at temperature T...

Ahahs

Circumstancially, I moved around for personal reasons. That's it, and because I didn't know what I wanted to do at the time. physics doesn't come easy for me and I work extremely hard to focus on studying while I work, too. The material in classes and problem sets are extremely difficult, with...

I have a weird undergrad record First 2 years at UCI as bio major Then moved back to Arizona to save money and figure out what I wanted to do because didn't want to do bio, like math too much. So then I spent 2 years at local CC and transferred to ASU last year , in which I will have spent a...

I had a friend convince me to take the physics gre with no preparation, just because i wanted to see how I would do. I do want to go to grad school, anywhere would be good based on my abysmal gre score. I'm a senior, next semester is my last then I'll have my BS in physics. I'm a B student...

Homework Statement A particle of mass m is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite square well running from x= -L/2 to L/2. The particle is in a linear combination of its ground state and first excited state such that its expectation value of momentum takes on its largest possible value at...

Still confused about that phrase, if anyone has ideas please let me know ! Thanks

I'm stuck on the fact that were given the phrase "expectation value of the momentum is a maximum when t=0." the energy of the second state is higher than that of the first, which implies the momentum of the second state which is more than that in the first (ps- I'm just talking about...

thanks! that makes sense. By the way, the problem wants me to find the nomalized ψ(x,t) and the usual dynamical quantities (<x>, <p>, check m(d/dx)<x>=p, Δx, Δp, check ΔxΔp satisfies uncertainty principle) how do we write ψ(x,t) as a linear combination of its ground and first excited state...

A particle of mass m is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite square well running from x= -L/2 to L/2. The particle is in a linear combination of its ground state and first excited state such that its expectation value of momentum takes on its largest possible value at t=0.I know the process of...

Yea!

many thanks for the help and putting up with my careless errors at midnight :D
