« · »   Problem 1.2: A quantum-mechanical wave packet moves in
an infinite well  t = | x =  Please wait for the animation to
completely load.  A quantum-mechanical wave packet moves in an
infinite well with walls at x = 0 and x = 1 as shown in the
animation (position and time are given in arbitrary units).
Take data from the animation and create a position vs. time
graph of the central peak of the Gaussian wave function. To add
data to the graph, type your (t, x) data into the text boxes and
then click the "add datum"button. Use the "clear graph" button
to start another graph. Restart.    1. Describe in words the
shape of the curve that will fit through your data.   2. How
accurate were your measurements when the packet was near the
wall?   3. What does this function tell you about the short-term
behavior of the wave packet?   4. How does it compare to what
you might expect to see for the position of a classical particle
in a similar infinite well?   The OSP Network: Open Source
