V=0 was not explicitly given, but the particles do not interact and and no other external potential is given. I think you are confusing ON a circle with INSIDE a circle. If they were confined to move inside a circle, then yes, I think there would be an infinite potential at r=R. However this...
Thank you for your help. Both careless mistakes, I need to be more careful. Now I am trying to determine the degeneracy of the first three energy levels. Here is my logic, I am not sure if it is correct.
Ground state degeneracy = 2. Neither particle is excited, but since they are...
Homework Statement
Consider two non-identical, non-interacting particles of mass M that are constrained to move on a circle of radius R. Write down the Schrodinger equation for this problem and find the eigenfunctions and energy levels of this system.
