| Abstract Title: |
W27: Some Extensions To The Quantum Analogs Experiment |
| Abstract: |
Quantum Analogs is a "classic" first experiment in many Modern Physics labs - a series of acoustic experiments that model quantum phenomena. The experiment is based on an analogy drawn between the mathematics of the Schrodinger wave equation and the wave equations that describe ordinary sound waves in air. We will quickly review the basic experiments, such as development of a bandgap in a 1-D sonic lattice and spherical harmonics as the angular solution to acoustic standing waves in a spherical cavity (a sonic model for the H atom). We will then move to some interesting extensions of the system, such as defect states in 1-D lattices and using the spherical cavity to examine not just the angular components of the wave function, but also examine the radial solution and its predicted eigenfrequencies. |
