Round 6: Tossup 1

For a particle in a box, this quantity equals n-squared times pi-squared times h-bar-squared, all divided by 2 m L squared. (10[1])This quantity is respectively raised and lowered by operators denoted a-plus and a-minus. This quantity is an eigenvalue of the time-independent Schrödinger equation, (10[1])which states that this quantity times psi equals the Hamiltonian times (10[1])psi. A form of the uncertainty (10[1])principle relates the uncertainties of time and this quantity. Max Planck postulated (-5[1])that a photon’s value of this quantity equals h times frequency. This quantity is minimized (10[1])in (10[1])the ground state. For 10 (10[1])points, (10[1])what quantity can be divided into “kinetic” and “potential” forms? ■END■ (10[1])
