4. QUESTIONS The tapered springs obey Hooke's over the widest range of loads when suspended with the large
diameter end down. This is why they are made that way. Explain why this works.​

Describe the path of a ray that approaches a mirror parallel to the principal axis.

2.22/3.33 points | previous answers tamucolphysmechl1 4.pre.002. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used on a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 2.40 m/s. (a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? magnitude 3.33 m/s correct: your answer is correct. direction correct: your answer is correct. (b) is this collision elastic?

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele
