Two identical non-interacting particles of rest energy 0.1973 MeV are trapped in the same infinitely deep one- dimensional square well of width 0.625 µm. If the total energy of the two-particle state is 0.31568 ueV, write down the two-particle wave function in each of the following cases: a, the particles are spinless; b. the particles are electrons and the spin of the state is S = 0; c. the particles are electrons and the spin of the state is s = 1; d. When the Coulomb repulsion between the electrons is taken into account in (b) and (c), which spin state will have the lower energy?
