5. The wavefunction of a particle is ?(?) = ??−??/2 for x>0 and ?(?) = ????/2 for x<0. Find the corresponding potential energy, constant A, and energy eigenvalue.
6. The hydrogen molecule H2 can be treated as a vibrating system
(simple harmonic oscillator), with an effective force constant ? =
3.5 × 10^3 eV/nm2. Compute the zero-point (ground state) energy
of
one of the protons in H2. How does it compare with the molecular
binding energy of 4.5 eV? Compute the amplitude of the zero-point
motion and compare with the atomic spacing of 0.074 nm.
