Airline passengers frequently observe the wingtips of their planes oscillating up and down with periods of the order 1 sec and amplitudes of about 0.1 m. a) Prove that this is definitely not due to the zero-point motion of the wings by comparing the zero-point energy obtained from the quoted values plus an estimated mass for the wings. b) Calculate the order of magnitude of the quantum number n of the observed oscillation.
a) True
b) False
