I don't really understand these questions... Is there anyone who could tell me HOW to solve them? I don't ask about ONLY answers, I just want to understand how to solve these types of exercises.

The things I know:
1. the centrifugal force = the gravitational force
Fg=GmM/r^2
Fc=?

2. the potential =0 (+1 and -1)

5.

L>>|SM|, so r~12
sin ~ 0.007
so d*0.007= 1*633 d=...

ok but how many interference maxima can be observed?? is there an equation for that?

3. B inside = 0 because it's a sphere...
4 - I have no idea how to do this o.O

First, most of these are introductory physics; you might have better luck in that forum. (I'm new here myself.) Second, we're not supposed to give answers, just hints, so here:

1.Good so far, except it's centripetal, not centrifugal. Write F=ma and think carefully about each variable.
2.E is a vector. Add vectors by adding components.
3.Gauss's law helps here.
4.This one requires calculus. Look up the Biot-Savart law.
5.sin x can't get bigger than 1.

Good luck!
 
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...
