Assignment 3 PDF

1) The document contains a 10 question physics assignment on quantum mechanics. Questions cover topics like calculating the probability of finding a particle between two points given its wavefunction, finding energy eigen values and eigenfunctions of a particle in a 1D potential well, and transmission coefficients for particles incident on potential barriers. 2) Students are asked to determine expectation values, draw wavefunctions and probability densities, and calculate frequencies and widths based on energy level transitions of particles in infinite 1D potential wells. 3) Questions also involve writing the general solutions for wavefunctions in different regions defined by a step potential and calculating the transmission coefficient for electrons incident on a potential barrier.
