2.3.1 
2.3.1 
(i) From Eq. (2.17) in the book and the following text, we have the expression ds=λzo/s for the 
separation of the fringes. Here zo = 10cm and s = 5nm. We can calculate λ using the de Broglie 
formula λ = h/p. Remembering also that E = p2/2m for a free particle, we have 
 p = 2mE = 31 192 (9.11 10 kg) (1eV) (1.6 10 J/eV)− −⋅ × ⋅ ⋅ × = 5.4x10-25 kg./s

(ii) The mass of the proton is 1836 times larger than the mass of the electron. Since p is proportional 
to the square root of m and d is inversely proportional to p, then the answer should be 
25mm / 1836 583 mμ= .

2.3.2 
(i) The slit is of width d and the screen is zo away. Each point in the slit is the source of a spherically 
expanding wave. The wavefunction at a point (x, zo) on the screen is the sum of the waves from all 
the points in the slit. Since it is a continuous set of points, our summation limits to an integral.

Taking the center of the slit as the origin, consider a small section of the slit at a distance t from the 
center having a width dt. To find the wave function at x on the screen, due to all the point sources 
within this section, we must propagate the expanding waves through the distance between (0, t) and 
(x, zo). This distance r is 
 ( )(1/ 2)2 2( )or z x t= + − 
The wave function at (x, zo) due to the section dt is 
 1( , ) exp( )od x z ikr dtr
ψ = 
The paraxial approximation that x << zo implies that r ~ zo. For the 1/r term, we can safely assume 1/r 
~ 1/ zo, and neglect that as a constant factor; i.e., 
 1( , ) exp( ) exp( )o
o
d x z ikr dt ikr dt
z
ψ = ∝ 
However, an exponential is very sensitive to small changes in its argument so we cannot assume r ~ 
zo in the phase term. The paraxial approximation x << zo allows us to expand the square root in a 
Taylor series keeping only first order terms in (x - t)2. Also using t < x << zo

(iii) Two finite slits 
For two slits we can essentially use the technique in part (i). We integrate over each slit separately 
and add the results. Let the slit separation (center to center) be w and the variable of integration t 
measured from the center of each slit. The limits of integration are t = –d/2 to t = d/2. 
For the top slit this results in

Note: Given the numbers in the problem 22 0/w z was very small so neglecting this will still give 
essentially the correct plot. However, in general it may not be the case that the slit spacing is 
negligible.

2.4.1 
We will use the following test for linearity for a non-zero solution ψ(x). 
 If ψ(x) is a solution then aψ(x) is also a solution where a is an arbitrary constant. 
If we substitute aψ(x) into each of the equations we get the following. 
i) ( ) ( ) 0daz ag z z

ψ ψ+ = 
We see that the a's will cancel, meaning that therefore aψ(x) is also a solution, so this equation is 
LINEAR. 
ii) 2 ( )( ) ( ) 0d za z a z

ψψ ψ+ = 
The constant a cannot be canceled in this equation, so it is NOT LINEAR. (In other words, given 
that ψ(x) is a solution of ( )( ) ( ) 0d zz z

is a = 1.)

We have an infinite potential well of width zL in each of the three dimensions.

is the lowest allowed energy of a particle in a one-dimensional infinite potential well. 
 (ii) The lowest allowed state corresponds to ( , , ) (1,1,1)x y zn n n = and has an energy 1 13E E∞= . In this 
state the wave function in each of the three directions looks like 
 
The next three states all have the same energy 2,3,4 16E E∞= and correspond to ( , , ) (2,1,1)x y zn n n = ,

dimensions looks as above, but along the third dimension it is the next higher state of the infinite well 
 
(iii) These last three states have equal energy and hence are degenerate (i.e., they have a degeneracy 
of 3) because the width of the well is the same in all three dimensions.

To check orthogonality on [-1,1] we take the inner product of the two functions. If they are 
orthogonal on the interval, then the inner product (orthogonality integral) is zero, i.e.,

Since the interval is symmetric about 0x = , we can use the parity of the integrand to determine by

(ii) Let the unnormalized functions be labeled as ( )ih x . So we have, for our first member of this set 
of functions 
 0 0( ) ( ) 1h x f x= = 
To normalize a function we divide it by the appropriate normalization factor, which is the square root 
of the integral of its modulus squared over the interval of interest. For this function, the integral of its 
modulus squared over the interval of interest is

0 ( )g x and 1( )f x that is orthogonal to 0 ( )g x . One appropriate way of writing such a combination is 
1 1 10 0( ) ( ) ( )h x f x a g x= + . We want this to be orthogonal to 0 ( )g x , so we require

f) The above is not the only set of orthogonal normalized functions for this interval in powers of x. If 
we start with a different function in the series we will in general get a new set. For instance, we could 
make the following choice for our first function 
 ( )0 3h f x x= = 
Normalizing this choice gives ( )0 32g x x= 
Then for our second function, we would have 
 ( ) ( ) ( )1 2 10 0h x f x a g x= + 
Orthogonalizing to ( )0g x leads to

Hence ( ) 21h x x= 
Normalizing this function gives ( ) 21 52g x x= 
and so on. Note that these functions g are a different and orthonormal set; for example, we have no 
function that is simply proportional to x2 in the set of functions in part (e) above.
