In summary, the conversation discusses the Stark effect and calculating the potential energy of an electron in a field. The formula W = e*epsilon*z is mentioned but it is unclear if it is the same as the potential energy imparted to the atomic electron. The individual is also seeking tips or resources for better understanding and calculating probabilities for Q2.

FAQ: Need Help with 3rd Year Quantum Mechanics Homework?
What is quantum mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of particles on a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It explains how these particles interact and how they can exist in multiple states at once.
What is the purpose of studying 3rd year quantum mechanics?
The purpose of studying 3rd year quantum mechanics is to gain a deeper understanding of the principles and mathematics behind quantum mechanics. It builds upon the basic concepts learned in earlier years and prepares students for more advanced topics in the field.
What are some real-world applications of quantum mechanics?
Quantum mechanics has many practical applications, including in electronics, computing, and cryptography. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of materials, chemical reactions, and even the universe at a fundamental level.
What are some common topics covered in 3rd year quantum mechanics?
Some common topics covered in 3rd year quantum mechanics include wave-particle duality, the Schrödinger equation, operators and observables, and quantum entanglement. Students may also learn about quantum states, superposition, and the uncertainty principle.
What are some helpful resources for understanding 3rd year quantum mechanics?
There are many resources available for understanding 3rd year quantum mechanics, including textbooks, online lectures, and practice problems. It can also be helpful to attend office hours or study groups with classmates and to seek guidance from a professor or tutor when needed.
