Problem 8.1

Wave Function 1 Wave Function 2 Wave Function 3

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

These animations show the real (blue) and imaginary (pink) parts of three wave functions.  Assume x is measured in cm and time is measured in seconds. 

  1. Write an expression for each of the three wave functions in the form:  ei(kx-wt).

  2. What is the mass of the particle? 

  3. What would the mass of the particle be if time was being shown in ms?
