Physical constants: h = 6. 626 10 34js c = 2. 998 108m/s 1 ev=1. 602 10 19j c = 1973ev a: multiple choice question (circle your answer): The rest mass of montarulino is 1 t ev /c2. Usually, particles at accelerators are highly energetic, but. V (r) = ke2/rn+1 where n > 0, instead of the familiar coulomb potential v (r) = ke2/r we discussed in class. Use uncertainty principle arguments to estimate the ground state energy. Don"t worry about the overall numerical factor: the wavefunction for a particle of mass m is (x) = 0e . You may nd the following integral helpful: r non-negative integer n. 0 xne xdx = n! for any (i) normalize this wavefunction. That is, nd the coe cient 0 such that the probability of. Nding the particle between is one. (ii) assuming the total energy of the particle is e = 2.
