| - | - Students work in [[strategy:smallgroup:list|small groups]] with a wavefunction for a quantum particle confined to a ring that is in a superposition state. | + | - This small group activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students find probability amplitudes of superposition states for a particle confined to a ring. |
| - | - Students are asked to calculate the probability for angular momentum, energy, and position. | + | - Students work in small groups to calculate the probability for angular momentum, energy, and position of a specific superposition state for particle on a ring. |
| + | - The entire class wrap-up discussion stresses that breaking up a given wavefunction into a superposition of eigenstates is most beneficial in these types calculations. | ||
