Answer:

No

Explanation:

It is well explained in the question itself that the accident took place at mid night on a full moon.

At mid night , the moon will be high on sky, it will not be rising.

So the statement of driver is false as there will not be any moon rising on eastern horizon when moon is already at the highest on sky.

This shows he is certainly lying and police should not believe him.

At full moon the moon is directly opposite the sun as viewed from earth.

That is, when the sun is setting the moon is rising. At midnight a full

moon would be directly overhead.

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, p=\hbar k

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

\omega is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}............(2)

From equation (1),

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }

Since, \dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar

p=\hbar k

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is \hbar k. Hence, this is the required solution.
