All parts of a question should be answered at one place. 1 A, an observer on the Earth, signals a flashlight at every six minutes. B, another observer on a space station stationary with respec! cives the signals. C, another observer on a rocket traveling from A to B with a constant velocity of 0.6c relative to A, also receives the same signals, ‘0 the Earth, req {a) At what intervals does B receive the signals from A ? (b) At what intervals does C ree ve signals from A? (c) If C dashes a light using intervals equal to those he received from A, at what intervals does B receive C’s flashes ?

(a) (b) Show that the group velocity is equal to the particle velocity The dispersion relation for free relativistic electron waves is given by + (me ny’, Find the phase and group velocities for these electron waves. The speed of a bullet (m = 50.0 g) and that of an electron (m= 9.1 x 10° g) are measured to be same 300 m/s with an uncertainty of 0.01%. Find the accuracy with which ‘one can locate the position of each, if the position and speed are measured simultaneously. What do you infer from the obtained accuracy of position for each about the two particles ? A quantum particle is moving along X-axis. The corresponding matter wave (group wave) is the superposition of many sinusoidal (plane) wavea having wavelength between 1 A to 3 A. Find the minimum uncertainty in measurement of the position of the particle and justify your answer. ‘A particle is constrained to move along a line of length L from x=0 to 2=L. At an instant, ‘the particle is found preferentially in the middle of the line. Write down its wave ftmetion and plot it in terms of the length L Which of the following wave function is acceptable as the solution of the Schrodinger equation for all values of x and justify your answer ? i) W(x) = A sec(x), ii) (x) = A tan(x), iii) W(x) = Ae*’, and iv) W(x) = Ae™™ Is the wavefunction y= Ae“ an cigenfunction of the lincar momentum and kinetic energy operators, If yes, what are their eigenvalues ? A particle is represented by the following wave function: v2) = 6 (%) for 0<2L. Find the normalization constant C. A particle is in the nth energy state Yn(x) of an infinite square well potential with width L. Determine the probability P,(L/a) that the particle is confined to the first 1/a of the width of the well, where a is a positive integer, e.g, if a = 3 then find probability of finding the particle between x = 0 to x = L/3. A proton is confined in an infinite square well of width 10 fm (1 fm= 10~"m). Caleulate ‘the energy of the photon emitted when the proton undergoes a transition from the first excited state (n=2) to the ground state (n=l) Electrons with energies of 0.8 eV are incident on a barrier 3.00 eV high and 0.1 nm wide. Find the approximate probability for these electrons to penetrate the barrier.
