3. A ID quantum well is described by the following position dependent potential energy for a moving particle of mass m: x<0, V = {-V, 0 L, where V, is a positive constant and L is the width of the quantum well. The total energy E of the particle is between -V, and 0 (i.e., -V, < E < 0 so bound states only!). Find the wavefunctions in each region. Apply as many boundary conditions as possible to these wavefunctions. Normalization of the wavefunctions is not required.
