Which of the following statements is true?
A) The probability density for a quantum mechanical particle in a box is an oscillatory function of x for very large energies.
B) The probability density for a classical particle in a box is an oscillatory function of x for very large energies.
C) The correspondence principle for a quantum mechanical particle in a box is satisfied at very large energies by taking the resolution of a measurement of position into account.
D) The correspondence principle requires agreement between classical and quantum mechanics in the limit that the particle wavelength approaches infinity.
B and D B and C A and B A and CExplanation / Answer
option 2nd B and C is true statement
.The probability density for a classical particle in a box is an oscillatory function of x for very large energies.the classical limit of a constant probability density that is independent of position is achieved.
The correspondence principle for a quantum mechanical particle in a box is satisfied at very large energies by taking the resolution of a measurement of position into account.
