    Probability of finding a particle in the ground state

    Homework Statement A particle is prepared in the state \psi (x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{L}} in a region 0 < x < L between two hard walls (particle in a box). Calculate the probability that the particle is found in the ground state when its energy is measured. Homework Equations This question...

    Application of Fourier series to pressure waves

    Homework Statement Assume that a pressure wave produces a change in pressure at a point in space \Delta P(t) which is proportional to a sawtooth function of frequency f = 1/2 Hz. (i) If the amplitude of the pressure wave is \Delta P_{0}, write down an expression for \Delta P(t). (ii) Two...
