Derive the general wavefunction for a particle in a box (i.e. the infinite square well

potential). Go on to normalise it. What energy/energies must the particle have to

exist in this box?

Find the energy spectrum of a particle in the infinite square well, with potential U(x) →...

Find the energy spectrum of a particle in the infinite square well, with potential U(x) → ∞ for |x| > L and U(x) = αδ(x) for |x| < L. Demonstrate that in the limit α ≫ hbar^2/mL, the low energy part of the spectrum consists of a set of closely-positioned pairs of energy levels for α > 0. What is the structure of energy spectrum for α < 0?

For the infinite square-well potential, find the probability that a particle in its second excited state is in each third of the one-dimensional box: 0?x?L/3 L/3?x?2L/3 2L/3?x?L There's already an answer on the site saying that the wavefunction is equal to ?(2/L)sin(2?x/L). My professor gave us this equation, but also gave us the equation as wavefunction = Asin(kx)+Bcos(kx), for specific use when solving an infinite potential well. How do I know which equation to use and when? Thanks

Consider a particle in an infinite square well, but instead of having the well from 0 to L as we have done in the past, it is now centered at 0 and the walls are at x = −L/2 and x = L/2. (a) Draw the first four energy eigenstates of this well. (b) Write the eigenfunctions for each of these eigenstates. (c) What are the energy eigenvalues for this system? (d) Can you find a general expression for the...
