There are HINTS for this homework.
1a) Given (Gas. p. 197), use the operator to generate . Use Gas. Eq. 11-48 to get the normalization. Thus, verify that Gas' result for (also given on p. 197) is completely correct.

1b) Gas 11-3

2a) Find and for a particle which is in a state having definite values for , and .

2b) Verify the prediction of the uncertainty principle for , using Gas. Eq. 6-64. (That is, show your result of part a is consistent with what Gas 6-64 would require.)

Under what condition (if ever) can ?

3) Gas 11-5

4) Gas 11-10
