study hints for physics 330 final exam:

  1. de Broglie wavelength
  2. particle in a box
  3. identical fermions: how to write a properly normalize, anti-symmetrized wave function.  You write the total wave function as a product of spatial and spin wave functions.  The total wavefunction can therefore be space-symmetric * spin antisymmetric, or space-antisymmetric * spin symmetric.
  4. photo-electric effect
  5. tunneling
  6. hydrogen atom: energy levels, quantum numbers
  7. hydrogen atom relativistic corrections. including good quantum numbers and how to find multiplets with total angular momentum quantum number j and calculate the spin-orbit correction (as done on the worksheet).
  8. relativistic kinematics
  9. scattering: cross section definition and Rutherford scattering.
