Modern Physics

the week of May 10 - 14

this week's readings

    Monday, May 10              no particular reading assignment; I suspect you have readings both in
                                                the Modern Physics text and  QED to catch up on

    Tuesday, May 11               read section 5(8)

    Thursday, May 13            read section 5-5 through the end of example 5-10 (the one
                                                we started in class Tuesday)

    Friday, May 14                study your notes made when we started the Schroedinger equation;
                                            (e.g., how to define k, etc.); we weill have a quizlet in the morning;
                                            also, have you caught up in QED to the last assignment??
                                            last time I checked the books, many of us had not!
                                            work on your e/m lab?


this week's assignments

    Monday, May 10

    Tuesday, May 11                have found values of <p2> and <x2> for use with Uncertainty
                                                Principle; &  you can even put them together to find Dx Dp;
                                                is Dx Dp >  h/4for all values of n ??

    Thursday, May 13              here is a self-contained set of instructions for what we started
                                                in class and what I'd like you to finish for Thursday, concerning
                                                the particle in the finite box
