WarmUp Exercise #2, 8/26  (Assignment Due 9/31)

Please answer the  following 2 questions regarding the Physlet:

The above animations represent possible stationary-state wave functions (energy eigenstates) in position space for potential energy functions in 1 dimension. 

Questions

1.  Which of the 9 wave functions could be a stationary-state wave function? Why or why not?

2. In one dimension the units associated with the above wave functions are:

  1. None, it is dimensionless.

  2. 1 / length.

  3. 1 / (length)^1/2.

  4. 1 / (length)^2.

  5. 1 / (length)^3/2.


Answer in the form below, a short answer for each is fine. 
This report is due by 8:00 am Tuesday morning.
