Question

Using Born approximation, obtain scattering cross-section for square well potential.

Answer 1

Answer:

Generally in scattering theory and in particular in quantum mechanics, the Born approximation consists of taking the incident field in place of the total field as the driving field at each point in the scatterer.

Explanation:

The time independent Schrodinger equation for one dimension is of the form. where U(x) is the potential energy and E represents the system energy. It has a number of important physical applications in quantum mechanics.hat is area of cross section?

The cross-sectional area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional object - such as a cylinder - is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point. For example, the cross-section of a cylinder - when sliced parallel to its base - is a circle.
