I didn't run any number. I don't think an infinite mass is realistic. The best I can think of is to let the mass tends to infinity. When the mass is "big", you should fall over classical mechanics. That would mean that in the "infinite potential" the wavefunction is probably narrow (which means a somehow well defined position).trelek2 said:Hi, I'm wondering what will happen to the wave function of a particle when we take its mass to infinity.
Suppose the infinite particle is in an infinite potential well, how do we sketch the wave function?
When we say a particle has infinite mass, it means that it has an immeasurably large amount of mass. In other words, it would have an infinite amount of inertia, making it impossible for anything to accelerate it or change its direction.
No, it is not possible for a particle to have infinite mass in our current understanding of physics. The concept of infinite mass violates the principles of relativity and would result in many paradoxes and inconsistencies.
If a particle had infinite mass, it would have an infinite amount of energy, according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. This would have a range of consequences, such as warping space-time and causing gravitational singularities.
No, a black hole is not considered to be a particle. It is an object with a singularity at its center, where the laws of physics as we know them break down. While it has an incredibly large mass, it is not considered to have infinite mass.
The Higgs boson is a particle that is responsible for giving other particles their mass. However, it does not have infinite mass itself. In fact, one of the main reasons for the existence of the Higgs boson is to explain why particles do not have infinite mass.
