*One dimensional infinite potential well - probability at a location
An electron moving in a one- dimensional infinite square well of width L is trapped in the n = 1 state. Compute the probability of finding the electron within the "volume" ?x = 0.019 L at 0.55 L to three decimal places.
When an electron moving in a one- dimensional infinite square well of width L (let walls are placed at x=0 &x=L) is trapped in the nth state, the corresponding wave function for the particle is
for n=1,
the complex conjugate of the corresponding wave function is
The probability of finding the electron within the "volume" ?x = 0.019 L to x=0.55 L is given by
