Homework Statement




I have a question concerning this potential. For E < V0, I have the R and T coefficients, but there sum doesn't equal one, but you have six equations and six unknowns, so its easy to solve I guess.. I have gotten the same answers doing it different ways but can't seem to get R+T=1.

However, it is a lot easier case then solving the case for when E > V0 I have seven unknowns and six equations.

All these equations I have gotten from the continuity requirements. Could I be missing something else?


Could I at least change the interior wavefuntions into sine/cosine since the exponent forms since it's reduces unknowns when matching at zero?

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
