A proton is confined in box whose width is d = 750 nm. It is in the n = 3 energy state. What is the probability that the proton will be found within a distance of d/n from one of the walls? Include a sketch of U(x) and ?(x).
Sketch the situation, defining all your variables
If the walls of a potential energy well have finite height, V0, the wave function that describes the particle inside the box does not vanish on the walls, but continues through the barrier power. Discuss, only conceptually, the diagrams drawn below for the three first energy levels. It is not to make a treatise about it, especially copied from books. It's simply to explain how much you understand about the concepts linked to graphics below.
