Which of the following is an important difference between the infinite square-well potential and the finite square-well potential?

a. Particles can exist in classically forbidden regions outside the finite square-well potential. b.The number of energy levels is limited in the infinite square-well potential but not limited in the finite square-well potential. c. The infinite square-well potential utilizes Schrödinger's equation to describe particle motion while the finite square-well potential does not. d. The energy levels are quantized only in the finite square-well potential. e. Only the energy levels in the finite square-well potential depend on Planck's constant.

Under what circumstances would a nonzero vector lying in the xy plane have components that are equal in magnitude?

1.This can never happen. 2.Always. Components of vectors are always equal in just two dimensions. 3.Only when the vector lies on the x- or y-axes (0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°). 4.Only when the vector lies 45° from the x- or y-axes (45°, 135°, 225°, or 315°).
