If in a box with infinite walls of size 1 nm there is an electron in the energy state n=2, find its probability density, the wave function and the corresponding energy.
The wave function for a quantum particle confined to moving in a one-dimensional box located between x = 0 and x = L is                                                        ψ(x) = A sin (nπx/L)Use the normalization condition on ψ to show that                                                               A = √2/L
For a particle in a 1-dimensional infinitely deep box of length L, the normalized wave function or the 1st excited state can be written as: Ψ2(x) = {1/i(2L)1/2} ( eibx -e-ibx), where b = 2π/L. Give the full expression that you need to solve to determine the probalibity of finding the particle in the 1st third of the box. Simplify as much as possible but do not solve any integrals.
