Consider two non-interacting particles in an infinite square well. One is in a state ψ_m, the other in a state ψ_n with n≠m. Let’s assume that ψ_m and ψ_n are the ground state and 1^st excited state respectively and that the two particles are identical fermions. The well is of width 1Å. What is the probability of finding a particle in the 1^st excited state in a region of width 0.01Å? Does this change if the particles are distinguishable?

A system of N identical, non-interacting particles are placed in a finite square well of width L and depth V. The relationship between V and L are such that only 2 bound states exist. What is this relationship? Hint: What is the requirement on E for a bound state? For these two bound states, what is the expected energy of the system as a function of temperature? The result only applies when T is low enough so that the probability...

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
