A battery of emf 9V, and negligible internal resistance, has a 100Kohm resistor connected across its terminals. What are the values of johnson and shot noise at a temperature of 20*C if the measurement bandwidth is 10KHz?

At what temperature would the johnson and shot noise contributions to the noise voltage across the resistor become equal? [ assume that the resistor is independent of temperature]

Will put up my attempts later! any help would be good.

Ok can find johnson noise by Vrms = [4KTRB]^1/2 where k is boltzman constant, T is temperature R is resistance and B is bandwidth.

Show noise found by Irms = [2eIB]^1/2 so I am presuming shot noise is independent of temperature?
 
Solved.
 
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...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
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...
