In this problem, we explore the fascinating intersection of classical and quantum physics by analyzing the energy levels of a bouncing ball using the WKB approximation. We start by deriving the quantized energy levels for a particle under the influence of gravity, and then compare these theoretical predictions with more exact results. This problem is not just an exercise in quantum mechanics but a bridge between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, showing how quantum principles can apply to everyday objects. Whether you're a student, educator, or physics enthusiast, this deep dive into the WKB method offers valuable insights into the nature of quantum systems and the tools used to analyze them. Join us as we unravel the quantum behavior of a bouncing ball and discover the surprising connections between classical and quantum physics!

Science is a phenomenal exploration of nature. We hope to hone our skills of problem solving by exposing ourselves to multiple contexts. In doing so, it can sometimes be challenging to see the connection between topics. I yearn to understand 𝙝𝙤𝙬 these aspects of physics, unite together. To accomplish this, I'll cover all of my old textbooks through QFT; the convergence point of the many modern scientists! These posts are very much in a "𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧" style. 𝙈𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 is that by sharing this exploration, I can help others navigate the beautiful world of mathematics & physics through problems and examples, connecting the mathematical tools to their physical ramifications.
