if a linear potential is applied to a well, why is the wavelength for a given energy E no longer constant?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The wavelength depends on the difference "particle energy" - "potential", and this is not constant if the potential is not constant.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
