A particle moving along the x-axis approaches π₯=0 from π₯ =ββ with a total energy E. It is subjected to a potential π(π₯). For time π‘ββ, the probability density P(x) of the particle is schematically shown in the figure.
The correct option for the potential π(π₯) is:
The correct option for the potential π(π₯) is:
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
For a particle moving through a potential with a given energy, the probability density \( P(x) \) represents the likelihood of finding the particle at a given position. The potential that produces the required probability distribution in the figure should have the corresponding characteristics based on the energy \( E \) and the nature of the particleβs behavior.
Option (C) matches the required potential shape.
Top Questions on Oscillations
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hookeβs law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):
