A class of traveling-envelope solutions of free Schrödinger equation generated by Lorentz transformation

Agus Budiyono

We develop a class of traveling-envelope solutions of Schrödinger equation for a free particle whose amplitude is moving with constant group velocity while keeping its shape undistorted. We show that solution with arbitrary finite group velocity is obtained by Lorentz boosting the solution with vanishing group velocity, if the quantum average energy $E$ and momentum $p$ are related to the rest-mass $m$ of the particle by Einstein formula $E^2/c^2-p^2=m^2c^2$. The wave function is spatially localized with finite-size support which is decreasing as the rest-mass and/or group velocity are increased. For a particle with vanishing rest-mass yet finite momentum, we show that the group and phase velocities are equal to the velocity of light and the wavelength is given by Einstein another formula $λ_P=h/p$.

Phase Velocity And Group Velocity For Beginners

Rodolfo A. Frino

In the first section of this paper I derive the formulas for the phase velocity and group velocity as a function of the total relativistic energy and the momentum of a particle. In the second section I derive similar formulas as a function of the de Broglie and the Compton wavelengths of the particle. In the third section, I derive similar formulas as a function of the angular frequency and the wave number. Finally, two additional meanings of the Compton wavelength are derived. The first one is derived from the equation of the group velocity in terms of the de Broglie and the Compton wavelengths and the second one from the range of the weak nuclear force.

We develop a class of traveling-envelope solutions of Schrödinger equation for a free particle whose amplitude is moving with constant group velocity while keeping its shape undistorted. We show that solution with arbitrary finite group velocity is obtained by Lorentz boosting the solution with vanishing group velocity, if the quantum average energy EEE and momentum ppp are related to the rest-mass mmm of the particle by Einstein formula E2/c2−p2=m2c2E^2/c^2-p^2=m^2c^2E2/c2−p2=m2c2. The wave function is spatially localized with finite-size support which is decreasing as the rest-mass and/or group velocity are increased. For a particle with vanishing rest-mass yet finite momentum, we show that the group and phase velocities are equal to the velocity of light and the wavelength is given by Einstein another formula λP=h/pλ_P=h/pλP​=h/p.
