Assignment 5

Due: 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 21

Calculate tex2html_wrap_inline14 in the tex2html_wrap_inline16 state. Explain why you don't need to also do the calculation for the other tex2html_wrap_inline18 states to know what tex2html_wrap_inline14 is for these states.

Maple hints: Use a square root instead of an exponent of tex2html_wrap_inline22 . Maple will need to know that tex2html_wrap_inline24 is a positive constant.

Bonus:
Based on the theory described in class, derive an expression for the tex2html_wrap_inline26 wavefunction. Normalize this wavefunction and then calculate tex2html_wrap_inline28 and tex2html_wrap_inline14 for this mixed state.

Note: In spherical polar coordinates, tex2html_wrap_inline32 .
