    Using uncertainty principle to estimate ground state energy

    Homework Statement Use the uncertainty principle to estimate the ground state energy of a particle of mass "m" is moving in a linear potential given by V(x) = ∞ for x≤ 0 V(x) = αx for x ≥ 0 Homework Equations ΔxΔp ≥ h/2 The Attempt at a Solution I've looked at a similar problem...

    Classically determining velocity of particle in a box

    Homework Statement I am supposed to show, using a classical argument, that the speed "v" of a particle in an infinite 1-D potential well is v= (nh)/(2mL) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Doesn't the particle just reflect back and forth against the walls of the...
