20.500.12556/RUL-108051 A mechanical wave system to show waveforms similar to quantum mechanical wavefunctions in a potential Interviews with students suggest that even though they understand the formalism and the formal nature of quantum theory, they still often desire a mental picture of what the equations describe and some tangible experience with the wavefunctions. Here we discuss a mechanical wave system capable of reproducing correctly a mechanical equivalent of a quantum system in a potential, and the resulting waveforms in principle of any form. We have successfully reproduced the finite potential well, the potential barrier and the parabolic potential. We believe that these mechanical waveforms can provide a valuable experience base for introductory students to start from. We aim at showing that mechanical systems that are described with the same mathematics as quantum mechanical, indeed behave in the same way. We believe that even if treated as a purely wave phenomenon, the system provides much insight into wave mechanics. This can be especially useful for physics teacher and others who often need to resort to concepts and experience rather than mathematics when explaining physical phenomena. teaching quantum mechanics potential waves wavefunction kvantna mehanika poučevanje potencial valovanje valovna funkcija true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2019-06-13 08:36:24 2019-06-13 08:36:25 2022-08-20 03:44:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2015 0 0 9 str. art. no. 035023 Vol. 36 2015 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 37.091.3:53 0143-0807 10.1088/0143-0807/36/3/035023 2813028 25430528 RAZ_Faletic_Sergej_i2015.pdf RAZ_Faletic_Sergej_i2015.pdf 1 BE0264E95159BE58B6D04B9F1EB943E3 c93be1131425740d26f40b6bc89cb06f677b66cd4709a25650ff17f053b776e5 906dd452-a1b6-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=118970 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
