A quantum particle in an infinitely deep square well has a wave function that is given by                                          ψ1(x) = √2/Lsin (πx/L)for 0 ≤ x ≤ L and is zero otherwise. (a) Determine the probability of finding the particle between x = 0 and x = 1/3L.(b) Use the result of this calculation and a symmetry argumentto find the probability of finding the particle between x = 1/3 L and x = 2/3 L. Do not re-evaluate the integral.
The Lyman series is brighter than the Balmer series,because this series of transitions ends up in the mostcommon state for hydrogen, the ground state. Why thenwas the Balmer series discovered first?
