1. A particle is bound in a one-dimensional region (0; 1) by the following

potential

V = 1 f or x < 0
= (x a) f or x > 0

Obtain the equation relating and the binding energy. Do not attempt to solve
this equation exactly. However, show that for low energy bound states a simple
analytic relation is obtained between the two. Determine the sign of for a
bound state solution to be possible

2. A charged, spinless, particle is moving in a circle of radius R. It is

subjected to a constant magnetic …eld B0 which is applied perpendicular to the
circular orbit. Take A = 21 (B r) and determine the energy eigenvalues of this
system, …rst for B0 = 0 and then for B0 6= 0
