How to normalize Schrodinger equation
I know I stated -a<= x <= a. But x can be positive or negative. How did you know to choose x to be negative? How is cos(2θ)=1−2sin2(θ)? I don't remember this being a trig identity. I am weak in math.- warnexus

How to normalize Schrodinger equation
Homework Statement The solution to the Schrödinger equation for a particular potential is psi = 0 for absolute x > a and psi = Asin(pi*x/a) for -a <= x <= a, where A and a are constants. In terms of a, what value of A is required to normalize psi? Homework Equations psi = 0 for absolute...- warnexus

Calculating Magnetic Force on Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
is that because the direction of velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field that's why there is velocity build-up? i will try to write one out. (charge) (velocity)(magnetic field) = (mass of an electron) (acceleration_sub z)- warnexus

Calculating Magnetic Force on Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
well if we start with the z axis, the z axis is the axis that is towards you. there is no velocity in the z, so its zero charge * velocity * magnetic field = m ( acceleration) 0 = m(acceleration) mass * acceleration is also zero- warnexus

Calculating Magnetic Force on Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
he did teach us how to convert units super fast in the first physics lecture. he really want us to convert units in some assigned problems. but it's for practice which I totally needed but am getting better at. for this one it would be : 90 Gauss * (1 Tesla/10,000 Gauss) = .009 Tesla. okay now...- warnexus

Calculating Magnetic Force on Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
oh i see. interesting. btw how come magnetic field is given in Gauss, the previous questions that involved with magnetic field were given in Tesla? Wouldn't Tesla have to be used?- warnexus

Calculating Magnetic Force on Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
oh I see. charge* velocity* magnetic field = mass * (d^2 * x)/(d*t^2) may you explain how you got acceleration to be d^2 * x)/(d*t^2). I went through the chapter called amperes law where this question was associated with and don't see the equation like that of (d^2 * x)/(d*t^2) d as in...- warnexus

F_x is force in the x or force sub x(probably should have done that) you mean like this: F_subx = m* a.. F_subz = m* a..- warnexus
