Homework Statement



I am doing some research and reading this: http://www.csuohio.edu/ece/theses/2004/Bhavin.pdf

I don't understand how the equation 4.1.11 on page 67 is derived.
Can anyone help clarify?

I have tried to understand it, but couldnt.

It might be because this expression was not derived from the equations mentioned; in fact there IS no 4.2.3 at all, and 4.2.2 has nothing to do with 4.1.11. It appears this came from 4.1.8 and 4.1.9, where the expression for T(s) is substituted into 4.1.8 which is then solved for I(s). 4.1.11 factors out the omega(s) term and replaces the two j terms with one J term.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
