A particle of mass is confined in a one-dimensional infinite potential well such that: Questions (a) Write down the time-independent Schrödinger equation for the region , and simplify it for this system. (b) Solve the differential equation to obtain the general form of the wave function. (c) Apply the boundary conditions to determine the allowed values of . (d) Obtain the quantized energy eigenvalues in terms of , , , and (e) Write the normalized wave functions . (f) Compare this system with a particle in a box of length . How do the energy levels differ? Provide a brief explanation.
