Find the energy eigenvalues of a particle confined by a potential of the following form: +oo, V(r)= { }mu22, if 2 0. if r0 < Sketch the potential so that you have a visual picture of it. Hint: Use the fact that we already know the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödi- inger equation in the quadratic potential and impose an additional requirement to the wave func- tions that follows from V(r) = 0. o for

A NON stationary state A particle of mass m is in an infinite square well potential of width L, as in McIntyre's section 5.4. Suppose we have an initial state vector lv(t -0) results from Mclntrye without re-deriving them, and you may use a computer for your math as long as you include your code in your solution A(3E1) 4iE2)).
