A particle is completely confined to one-dimensional region along the x-axis between the points x = ± L The wave function that describes its state is: SP 10 elsewhere where a and b are (as yet) unknown constants that can be expressed in terms of L Use the fact that the wave function must be continuous everywhere to solve for the constant b. The square of the wave function is a probability density, which means that the area under that...
