Department of Physics Bbdniit: B. TECH. FIRST SEMESTER 2014-2015 Unit Ii: Modern Physics

1. This document contains 22 questions about topics in modern physics including wave-particle duality, matter waves, the de Broglie wavelength equation, the Davisson-Germer experiment, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and the time-independent Schrodinger equation. 2. Questions ask students to calculate de Broglie wavelengths for particles like protons, neutrons, and alpha particles with given velocities or energies, and to derive equations for the de Broglie wavelength of particles accelerated through a potential difference. 3. Other questions address physical interpretations of the wavefunction in the Schrodinger equation and require solving for energy eigenstates and wavefunctions of particles confined in infinite potential wells of varying widths
