If you double the width of a one-dimensional infinite potential well, (a) is the energy of the ground state of the trapped electron multiplied by 4, 2, , , or some other number? (b) Are the energies of the higher energy states multiplied by this factor or by some other factor, depending on their quantum number?

The wavefunction for a quantum particle tunnelling through a potential barrier of thickness L has the form ψ(x) = Ae−Cx in the classically forbidden region where A is a constant and C is given by C^2 = 2m(U − E) /h_bar^2 . (a) Show that this wavefunction is a solution to Schrodinger’s Equation. (b) Why is the probability of tunneling through the barrier proportional to e ^−2CL?

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.
