Question 8 Can we solve the TISEq for no-particle in no boxes? No, this case does not exist in nature Yes, but only if we approximate it No, it is not part of the cases for which we can solve it Yes, but that solution is trivial and not very interesting Question 9 The energy levels arising from the solution of the TISEq for the free particle are: Constrained Continuous Quantized Equal to the quantum number
