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
