A particle of mass m is bound in a one-dimensional well with one impenetrable wall. The potential energy is given by the equation in the first provided image and the well is depticed in the second provided image.
Solve the Shrodinger equation for E < 0 inside and outside the well. Apply the boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = a to obtain an equation that determines the allowed values of E.

- In the numerical example in the text, I calculated only the ratio of the probabilities of a hydrogen atom being in two different states. At such a low temperature the absolute probability of being in a first excited state is essentially the same as the relative probability compared to the ground state. Proving this rigorously, however, is a bit problematic, because a hydrogen atom has infinitely many states. Estimate the partition function for a hydrogen atom at 5800 K, by adding the Boltzmann factors for all the states shown explicitly .
