TRQ. 3.1 Solve completely the following Quantum problem. Need full detailed answer, equations and if possible, theory/ literature.
Question: A particle of spin 1 and a particle of spin 1/2 are in a configuration for which the total spin is equal to 1/2. If one were to measure the z-component of the spin of the particle with spin = 1, what values might one get and what are the probabilities associated with those values?
Use Clebsch-Gordan table. Write the total spin state |s,ms> as linear combinations of |s1, ms1> |s2, ms2> states.
PROBLEM 2. Consider a spherical potential well of radius R and depth Uo,
so that the potential is U(r) = -Uo at r R.
Calculate the minimum value of Uc for which the well can trap a particle
with l = 0. This means that SE at Uo > Uc has at least one bound ground
state at l = 0 and E < 0. At Ug = Uc the bound state disappears.
PROBLEM 2 Calculate the probability distribution of momenta p for a ld
oscillator in the ground state (n = 0). Calculate the mean square dispersions
(x2), (p²), and the product (r2)(p²).
