Solutions

Expert Solution

Summary: first I draw the finite potential well and define the potential. Then I label the three regions 1st  2nd and 3rd. And then I applied the time independent Schrodinger equation in the three regions and got three differential equations. on solving these equations I got the solutions for the three regions. And it is clear that solutions are combination of exponential terms and sign or cosine terms.
