What is the probability of finding a particle in a well of width a at a position fraca4 from the wall if n=1, if n=2, if n=3. Use the normalized wavefunction
What is the probability of finding a particle in a well of width $a$ at a position $\frac{a}{4}$ from the wall if $n=1$, if $n=2$, if $n=3$. Use the normalized wavefunction $$\psi(x) = \left(\frac{2}{a}\right)^{1/2} \sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{a}\right) e^{-\frac{iEt}{\hbar}}$$ [5]
- Width of well: $a$ - Position: $x = \dfrac{a}{4}$ - Normalized wavefunction: $\psi(x) = \left(\dfrac{2}{a}\right)^{1/2}\sin\left(\dfrac{n\pi x}{a}\right)e^{-iEt/\hbar}$ - Quantum numbers: $n = 1, 2, 3$ Note: The wording asks for "the probability of finding a particle at a position $a/4$." Stric...
