Document Summary

Late in the exam period april 26th. (it is your responsibility to confirm that this remains the case!) Cumulative (but emphasis on material that came after the mid-term) Same format as mid-term: 5 definition questions; 5 short answer questions; 1 essay question from a choice of 2. Suppose the people of the world assemble to discuss which principle (or principles) are to govern them. Suppose they reach agreement and contract, so to speak, to accept and abide by a certain principle. Social contractarians, broadly speaking, believe that it would. The basic idea is that there is something validating about agreement freely reached by people regarding the principles to govern them. The passions that incline men to peace, are fear of death; desire of such things as are necessary to commodious living; and a hope by their industry to obtain them. And reason suggests convenient articles of peace, upon which men may be drawn to agreement.

Then briefly describe the process on how you would answer eachquestion.

1 .How would you train a dog to salivate when he sees the TV set inyour home turn on or a coffee maker start even though it canât eatthese things?

2. If you have learned to fear beagles (or any specific dog forthat matter), why might you also be scared of German shepherds?What principle of conditioning apples here?

3. Using the principles of conditioning how might you explain agiven phobia? (Please cite a specific phobia and explain how youmight treat this phobia).

4. How can operant conditioning principles account for the manysuperstitious rituals that people have? (Hint: A type ofreinforcement applies here)

I have a geophysics exam tomorrow, this question will be intheexam!!! I don't know what the teacher is asking..pleasehellllp!

Inertial navigation systems on aircradt share acommonattribute with the human ear. One measures the timederivative ofthe other. Explain the principles of optic fiber andfluid methodsrotation measurement?

A Particle in a box
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.
4. The uncertainty of a quantum measurement is defined on page222,Equation 6.41 (3rd
edition SMM). Using this equation calculate the uncertainties oftheposition and
momentum of a particle in the n = 5 state. Compute the productofthese uncertainties and
compare this with the prediction of the Heisenberguncertaintyprinciple.
Quantum oscillator
5. Repeat calculations in the previous question for the groundstatewave function of the
quantum oscillator. Comment on the obtained result.
