- Calculate the probability that a particle will be found between 0.49L and 0.51L in a box of length L for (i) ψ1, (ii) ψ2. You may assume that the wavefunction is constant in this range, so the probability is ψ2δx.arrow_forwardConsider a 1D particle in a box confined between a = 0 and x = 3. The Hamiltonian for the particle inside the box is simply given by Ĥ . Consider the following normalized wavefunction 2m dz² ¥(2) = 35 (x³ – 9x). Find the expectation value for the energy of the particle inside the box. Give your 5832 final answer for the expectation value in units of (NOTE: h, not hbar!). In your work, compare the expectation value to the lowest energy state of the 1D particle in a box and comment on how the expectation value you calculated for the wavefunction ¥(x) is an example of the variational principle.arrow_forwardFind the eigenvalue of operating on the function f(x) = Asin(nx) + Bcos(mx) with the following operator: P = d²/dx2 What must be the value of the constants A, B, m and n be to make the function an eigenfunction of this operator? 1.arrow_forward
