Assignment 11:

5.2abc (a) 0.054%
            (b) dl = mlh/(2mp) = 1.79 x 10 -10 m
            (c) 6.8 eV

5.4 (a) A = 1/sqrt(2)
      (b) A = 1/2

5.5 (b) Let |nm> be (2/a) sin (npx1 /a) sin (mpx2 /a) Then
Particle Label Wave function Energy Degeneracy
Distinguishable 22 |22> 8K nondegenerate
13 |13> 10K 2
31 |31> 10K
Symmetric state 22 |22> 8K nondegenerate
13 [1/sqrt(2)] [ |13> + |31> ] 10K nondegenerate
Antisymmetric state 13 [1/sqrt(2)] [ |13> - |31> ] 10K nondegenerate
23 [1/sqrt(2)] [ |23> - |32> ] 13K nondegenerate

5.7 Quoting an answer gives away the whole story, so ask me for the answer if you need it. The normalization constant in (b) and (c) is 1/sqrt(6).

5.33 (a) 27
        (b) 10
        (c) 1
