What is the probability of finding a particle in the last 10% of a one-dimensional box for n = 1 state? Find the solution(s) to the differential equations: a. y''(x) + y'(x) - 6y(x) = 0 and b. y''(x) - 4y'(x) + 4y(x) = 0.
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.
