Document Summary

Professor will put a study guide online by beginning of next week for midterm exam, content of midterm exam consists of all sessions prior to midterm exam, essay due on march 2nd. Week 3 fertility causes poverty, r ight: population growth is determined by three factors: fertility rate, mortality rate, and net immigration, net immigration = immigration emigration, if positive, then would have net immigration. Population pyramids 1994: three patterns of population change, rapid growth: kenya. 50% of population is 15 years of age or younger: slow growth: united states. amount of young people in us, canada, or germany, are much smaller than in countries like kenya, nigeria, or uganda. baby boomers caused the bump in the middle of the graph, was caused by numerous children born after the war, and was before contraceptive period. there were more baby boomers in us than in germany because were more prosperous.

In order to answer the following questions you will need toconsideran infinite potential
well of length L, in which a particle has been confined.



1. For principal quantum number n=7, write code to calculatethenormalization constant.
Then, plot the probability density function for this state (usingL= 10).
2. Using the properly normalized wave equation from Question1,write code to determine
the expectation values <x> and <x2> . Is <x>oneof the most probable positions? Explain
why.
3. Using the properly normalized wave equation from Question1,write code to determine
the expectation values <p> and <p2> . Show the valueyouobtain for <p2> is equal to
2mE7 (where E7 is the energy of the n = 7 level). Remember that pisa differential
operator so you will have to use the diff command.

5. Repeat calculations in the previous question for the groundstatewave function of the
quantum oscillator. Comment on the obtained result.


Theory: Topics that you should be familiar with are: significantfigures, least count and estimated fraction, systematic and randomerrors, accuracy versus precision, percent difference and percenterror. These topics should have been covered in class already (orperhaps in an introduction to the lab manual or in a handout). Itis assumed that the instructor has discussed how to use the massbalance, etc.
Introduction: The goal of section I of this experiment is tomeasure (to the correct least count and estimated fraction) andcalculate (to the correct number of significant figures) thedensity of a metal ball and compare it to a table of accepteddensities (?=7.8x103 kg/m3).
To accomplish this goal keep in mind that: ? = m/V and Vsphere =(4/3) p r3
In the space below create a data table, show your calculations indetail, and compare your measured answer to accepted values givenabove. (Would you calculate a percent error or a percentdifference?)

For each trial measure thedisplacement and record your results as precisely as possible. Becareful how you measure the displacement!

Make sure that you label theaxes of your graph properly and give the graph a descriptivetitle.), Please include (0,0) point.

Question and further procedures
1. What is the greatest source of error in performing theexperiment? Is this error random or systematic? Explain.
2. At this point you should have calculated g in two different ways(A quadratic graph, and a linear graph). Which technique do youthink is best? Do all two techniques give the same answer? If not,which technique do you think has the most error?
3. How might you modify your procedures to determine whether or notg depends on the mass of the falling object? Do the experiment andcalculate g using your favorite technique.
