    Expectation value for a position measurement

    Both. And yeah, it should be 9/25 E1 + 16/25 E2.

    Expectation value for a position measurement

    Homework Statement Given the wave function psi(x,0) = 3/5 sqrt(2/L) sin(xpi/L) + 4/5 sqrt(2/L) sin(5xpi/L) in an infinite potential well from 0 to L, what is the expectation value <x> and rms spread delta E = sqrt(<E^2>-<E>^2) Homework Equations <x> = integral from 0 to L of psi*xpsi dx...

    Programs Undergraduate Major: Engineering vs Math/Physics

    Would I be better off simply doing mathematics and physics as a career and work in a national lab without having to work in academia since I'm only interested in research? I suppose I could work in a field that incorporates interdisciplinary field like quantum gravity. I don't think engineering...

    Programs Undergraduate Major: Engineering vs Math/Physics

    Hi. I have taken honors analysis I, II, linear algebra, abstract algebra, differential geometry, topology, algebraic topology, complex analysis, and taking graduate real analysis and linear algebra. I really do not know what I plan on doing after graduation. I'm currently a first term sophomore...

    Programs Undergraduate Major: Engineering vs Math/Physics

    So, I'm trying to decide which career to go into. I've already taken a bunch of high-leveled theoretical math and physics classes, and I've enjoyed and done well in them so far. However, I'm not specifically interested in a specific area of math and physics, mostly interested in a diverse array...
