Physics 827: Homework Set No. 6 Due date: Friday, November 11, 2011, 1:00pm in PRB M2043 (Biao Huang’s office) Total point value of set: 55 points Problem 1 (10 pts.): Exercise 5.2.1 (Shankar, p. 163) Problem 2 (20 pts.): Exercise 5.2.2 (Shankar, p. 163). Hint: I found it useful to replace the potential V (2) by a suitable Gaussian potential of smaller magnitude in order to put an upper bound on the energy expectation value, Problem 8 (5 pts.): Exercise 5.3.1 (Shankar, p. 166) Problem 4 (5 pts.): Exercise 5.3.4 (Shankar, p. 167) Problem 5 (15 pts.): (a) (5 pts.) According to Postulate Il, the angular momentum operator is defined as L x P. Is this operator Hermitean? If not, write down a Hermitean expression for the angular momentum. (b) (10 pts.) Using Ehrenfest’s theorem, derive the equation of motion for the expecta- tion value of angular momentum in an arbitrary state |!) for a particle in a 3-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential (with Hamiltonian given by Eq. (4.3.4) in Shankar), Exerecse 5:21 Cyege 163) ie gpa La pot frou space The probabil aupGhe Vor a $eHhe, 4 Ca proud Mate of abe D Lengel An te stare If, > -(f [EP os @) con Gt ye) Che iuuer product secetver eotebatons 10 frou.
