To State:The reasons for the fact that particle is small and bound in quantized system.
Explanation of Solution
Stationary state often regarded as the standing state is not just a particle that is at rest state rather, they just are the two superimposed waves having the similar frequency.
Hence, according to the
So, the probability density to find the particle in that particular space is fixed here i.e. the probability is stationary not the particle and it is time-independent.
Thus, using this dual-behaviour hypothesis, one can say that the particles are quantized and are represented by waves.
Hence, keeping in mind the wavelength, the particles are bounded in small regions. It is important for the particle to form stationary waves in order to exhibit this wave nature.
Conclusion:
So, these dimensions and boundations are necessary for the particle to behave as a wave.
