Note: Candidates are required to attempt any four questions. All questions carry equal marks.

01, State Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and explain it in view of de-Broglie wave concept.
Applying its mathematical expression, explain the non-existence of electrons in the atomic
nucleus.

2. What is normalisation of a wave function? How is it mathematically expressed? Find the

normalization constant of the particle described by the Gaussian wave packet wave function
given by

Vx)=Aeletk)

.What.do you mean by stationary states? Using the factorization ofspace time coordinates, show
that probability current density for stationary states does not depend on time.

4 . A particle ofmass m is trapped in a symmetric potetial well defined by

v(x)=o for
for - a <x<ka
x>a
Show that wave function corresponding to odd quantum numbers are symmetric. Also plot the
first two excited states.

Q5. (a): Give the Dimensions of wave function r in ID, 2D and 3D.

(b): Consider a system whose state is given in terms of an orthonormal set of three vectors |1),
p2), and l¢3) such that
3 /2
4)1)+)+1)
Verify that total probability is equal is to one. Also calculate the probability of finding the
particle in d1 and ¢2 state

Q6. What is the condition for an operator to be Hermitian? Check it for momentum operator? For a
Hermitan operator, if all ofits eigen values are real, show that the cigenvectors corresponding
to different eigenvalues are
orthogonal
07. Expressing the wavefunction ( , 8, 4) as product of three separate functions each having one
independent variable r, 8, or o, write down the Schrodinger equation for hydrogen atom and
obtain its azimuthal component. Find the solution and normalised wavefunction of azimuthal
component and also give the significance of quantum number predicted by this component.

8. How can you define a commutation relation? Explain its physical significance and relation with
Uncertainty Principle, Also determine the below given commulation relations.
