Physics 390: Practice problems for the final exam
Here is a list of problems from the book that cover much of the semester’s material, although
they may be different in style from the problems that will appear on the final. This list is for
your own optional practice. Do as many or as few problems as you like—they will not be
graded.
Basic experimental results: 3-5, 3-6, 3-16, 3-20, 3-21, 3-49, 3-50, 4-8, 4-10, 4-19, 4-42
Early quantum physics: 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, 5-9, 5-27, 5-29, 5-34, 5-35, 5-39
The Schr¨odinger equation: 6-5, 6-7 (mislabeled in my copy of the book as 8-5, 8-7)
Particular solutions of the Schr¨odinger equation: 6-14, 6-16, 6-21, 6-30, 6-34, 6-41, 6-44, 6-48,
6-51, 7-1. (Problems 6-x are mislabeled as 8-x in my copy of the book.)
Atomic physics: 7-16, 7-17, 7-20, 7-32, 7-36, 7-42, 7-45, 7-46, 7-49
