Homework Statement
A one-dimensional potential well has a barrier of height 1.5 eV (relative to the energy of the bottom of the well) on the right hand side, and a barrier higher than this on the left hand side. We happen to know that this potential well has an energy eigenstate for an electron at 1.3 eV (also relative to the energy at the bottom of the well)
Relevant Equations
State the general form of the wavefunction solution (i.e., within a normalizing constant that you need not attempt to determine) in each of the following two cases, giving actual values for any wavevector magnitude k and/or decay constant k in these wavefunctions. i. Within the well. ii. In the barrier on the right hand side.
I am totally confused about the task. Any help will be nice. Thank you so much

I assume you have been studying or attending lectures on the relevant material? The question appears to assume you have a whole bunch of solutions and equations at your fingertips.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

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...
