Quantum mechanics problem.

l. Let s be the number of spots observed on the top of a single die thrown at random. (a) How many states are possible? What is the probability of obtaining each state? (b) Calculate S (c) Calculate As

Solution

Solution :

Ok lets approach the problem in this way.

SO here a random die is thrown and the number of sports is observed. In a die there a maximum 6 spots.

That is 1,2,3,4,5,6. Hence a) The total states possible are 6.

Now coming to second part what is the probability of occurence of each case. This can be solved by probability theory which that

P(s)= delta(s)= Number of favourable case/ Total number of cases

Here Number of favourable case= 1

Total number of cases= 6

Hence delta(s)= 1/6= 0.1667
