Problem 3-7 Further information about this function $F$ can be obtained from the property expressed by Eq. (2.31). First notice that the results of Prob. 3-6 imply that $F(t_b-t_a)$ can be written as $F(t)$, where $t$ is the time interval …

Problem 3-6 Since the free-particle lagrangian is quadratic, show that (Prob. 2-1) $ \def\ket#1{|#1\rangle} \def\bra#1{\langle#1|} \def\BK#1#2{\langle #1|#2\rangle} \def\BraKet#1#2#3{\langle#1|#2|#3\rangle} \def\ppdiff#1#2{\frac{\partial #…

Problem 3-5 Use the results of Prob. 3-2 and Eq. (3.42) to show that the wave function of a free particle satisfies the equation $ \def\ket#1{|#1\rangle} \def\bra#1{\langle#1|} \def\BK#1#2{\langle #1|#2\rangle} \def\BraKet#1#2#3{\langle#1|…
