Particle in one dimension wave function from Quantum Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a quantum mechanics problem related to a particle's wave function in one dimension. The user expresses uncertainty about how to plot the graph of their solution and mentions using Overleaf LaTeX for plotting. Suggestions include using Excel's ERF function for graphing. Additionally, there is advice on verifying the correctness of their previous answers by troubleshooting and checking the integration results. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-assessment in problem-solving.

But me not sure how to plot the graph. Maybe someone knows?

Merci

With a plotting program? Excel has the ERF function that you can use.

I plotted in overleaf latex

Do you know if the other parts (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) are good?

Best wishes to you

What do you think? There comes a time when you need to troubleshoot your own work. Look at your answers and try to prove them wrong. If you can't, then they are probably correct.

For example, in (i) when you integrated did you get 1 or did you not?
In (ii), is you answer the magnitude-squared of what you got in (i) or is it not?

And so on.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
