    Probability wave function is still in ground state after imparting momentum

    Thank you. Do you by any chance know any way to solve that integral by hand? I solved it on mathematica and it gave me ##P=e^\frac{-{k_{0}}^{2}\hbar}{4mw}## but I have no idea how to solve it by hand. Thanks again.

    Probability wave function is still in ground state after imparting momentum

    Ah right. So would this be the probability of the system still being in the ground state? ##\left | \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \psi_{0} \psi_{0} e^{ik_{o}x}dx\right |^2=P##

    Probability wave function is still in ground state after imparting momentum

    Homework Statement An interaction occurs so that an instantaneous force acts on a particle imparting a momentum ## p_{0} = \hbar k_{0}## to the ground state SHO wave function. Find the probability that the system is still in its ground state. Homework Equations ##\psi _{0} =\left(...

    Question about the Dirac Delta Function

    Homework Statement Find the Fourier spectrum of the following equation Homework Equations ##F(\omega)=\pi[\delta(\omega - \omega _0)+\delta(\omega +\omega_0)]## The Attempt at a Solution Would the Fourier spectrum just be two spikes at ##+\omega _0## and ##-\omega _0## which go up to infinity?

    Phasor angular velocity for a triangle wave?

    What would the angular velocity for a phasor be for a triangle wave? I think it would vary sinusoidally but I can't find an expression

    Maximum Kinetic Energy from a Physical Pendulum

    Okay, so i drew a picture and realized that I made a mistake. I got to Change in x = l/2 * (1- cos(x))

    Maximum Kinetic Energy from a Physical Pendulum

    Would I have to use cos (x) instead of sin (x)? Umm yes that's the question :)

    Maximum Kinetic Energy from a Physical Pendulum

    I used a factor of sin (x) because the change in the y-axis * mg is equal to total potential energy y = r sin (theta) when changing between polar and cartesian coordinates Is this the wrong way to think about it?

    Disintegration Energy of Beta Plus Decay

    Ah i think I understand Q = ((mC- 6mE) - (mB - 5mE + mE))c2 Q = (mC - mB - 2me) c2 Is this right?
