Classically, if a particle is not observed, the probability per unit length of finding it in a box is a constant 1/L along the entire length of the box.
(a) Show that the classical expectation value of the position is (1/2)L, that the expectation value of the square of the position is (1/3)L^2 and that the uncertainty in the position is L/(sqrt (12)).
(b) Treat this system quantum mechanically and show that the uncertainty in a particle's position in an infinite well in the general case of an arbitrary n is given by L [1/12 - 1/(2(n^2)(pi^2)]^(1/2).
In what circumstance does this quantity agree with the classical uncertainty?

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
