1. Consider a system of 6 particles that can be distributed among Energy levels labelled 0 through 8. (a) Tabulate the average number of particles in each level for each of the three cases: Classical particles, Bosons and Fermions. (b) Represent the information in your table on a single graph [you must use different symbols or line types for the 3 cases. Excel/ Sigma Plot /Mathematica etc. are encouraged, but neat hand- made graphs are also acceptable]. [You may consult...

Labor Market Shock: Graphically show the impact of a positive labor supply shock. Include all three markets: Labor, Product, Capital. Start with initial steady state. Show impact of shock in the initial market. Next show the propagation mechanism--how it carries over into the other two markets. Show at least one set of the feedback loop, Show the new steady state. Tips: Use one sheet of white paper-landscape orientation. Use colored pens/pencils.

Show that, regardless of its initial energy, a photon cannot undergo Compton scattering through an angle of more than 60° and still be able to produce an electron-positron pair. (Hint: Start by expressing the Compton wavelength of the electron in terms of the maximum photon wavelength needed for pair production.)

Particles of mass m are incident from the positive x axis (moving to the left) onto a potential energy step at x=0. At the step the potential energy drops from the positive value U_0 for all x>0 to the value 0 for all x<0. The energy of the particles is greater than U_0. A) Sketch the potential energy U(x) for this system. B) How would the wavelength of a particle change in the x<0 region compared to the x>0 region?...
