Consider the operator that is given by. M = 2 i

-i 2

in the basis {1} and {2} when they are assigned to {1,0} and {0,1} respectively.

a. What are the two new basis vectors for which M is diagonal?

b. Write the new pair of basis vectors both in ket notation as a linear combination of {1} and {2} and column notation with {1} and {2} assigned to {1,0} and {0,1} respectively. Label the two new basis vectors e1 and e2.

c. Explicitly show that the basis in which M is diagonal is orthogonal and explain why it had to be

Complete the proof Let V be a nontrivial vector space which has a spanning set {xi} ki=1. Then there is a subset of {xi} ki=1 which is a basis for V. Proof. We will divide the set {xi} ki=1 into two sets, which we will call good and bad. If x1 ≠ 0, then we label x1 as good and if it is zero, we label it as bad. For each i ≥ 2, if xi ∉ span{x1, . ....

GOAL Use the superposition principle to calculate the electric field due to two point charges. Consider the following figure. The resultant electric field  at P equals the vector sum 1 + 2, where 1 is the field due to the positive charge q1and 2 is the field due to the negative charge q2.Two point charges lie along the x-axis in the x y-coordinate plane. Positive charge q1 is at the origin, and negative charge q2 is at (0.300 m, 0). Point...

For my PSY 240 course, I implemented a new practice of bringing in guest speakers at various stages of life. The goal is to have students observe real-life examples of developmental stages and thus have higher final course percentage scores as a result. In order to see if this new element was helpful to students, I compared results from the final percentage scores of my current class to the existing pool of past final percentage scores from all my previous...

The decimal values of the Roman numerals are: M D C L X V I 1000 500 100 50 10 5 1 Remember, a larger numeral preceding a smaller numeral means addition, so LX is 60. A smaller numeral preceding a larger numeral means subtraction, so XL is 40. Assignment: Begin by creating a new project in the IDE of your choice. Your project should contain the following: Write a class romanType. An object of romanType should have the following...

Part II – Genetic Basis of the Disorder As Alexander’s family and you have now discovered, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC) is a genetic disorder in which the primary deficits are abnormal growth of one or more spinal vertebrae and the growing ends of the femurs, resulting in disproportionate, short-trunk dwarfism (Parikh & Crawford, 2017). Interestingly, both of Alexander’s parents, his grandparents and an older sister are of normal height. Therefore, what do you think the mode of inheritance is for...

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 12 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 19 m for a jumper whose mass is 120 kg, the heaviest adult you...

THE FIRST SHOCK IS TO THE IS CURVE, THE SECOND SHOCK IS A ‘LM’ SHOCK. AGAIN, WE CONSIDER THESE SHOCKS SEPARATELY SO THAT AFTER YOU COMPLETE SCENARIO 1 (THE IS SHOCK), WE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CONDITIONS AND CONSIDER THE SECOND SCENARIO WHICH IS THE ‘LM’ SHOCK.
