Consider the following wave functions (where a, b, k, and a are constants): (i) ψ(x) = a sin(kx) (iv) ψ(x) = ae-ikx (i) ψ(x) = b cos(kx) (v) ψ(x) = be+ikx (iii) ψ(x) = a/x (a) determine which of the above func- (vi) ψ(x) be-ax tions are eigenfunctions of the momentum operator, px, and identify the correspond- ing eigenvalue. (b) determine which of the above functions are eigenfunctions of the kinetic energy oper- ator, kx, and determine the corresponding eigenvalue. 4. evaluate the momentum expectation values of the free particle wavefunctions ex and etilx (where k is a positive constant). what do your results tell you about the direction in which free particles described by each of these wavefunctions are moving?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
