When we discussed the particle in a box model, we defined our
box to be from x=0 to x=a. Re-
examine this problem, defining the box to be from -a to +a. Recall
that the general solution for a
particle in a region of V=0 is ψ = A sin kx + B cos kx. Apply
the appropriate boundary conditions,
figure out what k is (in terms of a), and normalize your solution
(i.e. evaluate A and B).

In class, we considered a box with walls at x = 0 and x = L. Now consider a box with width L but centered at x = 0, so that it extends from x = L/2 to x = L/2 as shown in the figure.
In class, we considered a box with walls at \(x=0\) and \(x=L\). Now consider a box with width \(L\) but centered at \(x=0\), so that it extends from \(x=-L / 2\) to \(x=L / 2\) as shown in the figure. Note that this box is symmetric about \(x=0 .\) (a) Consider possible wave functions of the form \(\psi(x)=A \sin k x\). Apply the boundary conditions at the wall to obtain the allowed energy levels.(b) Another set of possible wave functions...

1. This problem is all about the variational method, as applied to the particle in a box. Remember that we discussed in class how to compute the variational energy for this problem, using (2) = x(L - 2) as the trial wavefunction. (a) Let's take instead the trial wavefunction (x) = x(L2 - 22). Sketch carefully this function from 0 to L, and show that it satisfies the particle in a box boundary conditions. (b) Compute the variational energy for...

Consider the Kronig-Penney model discussed in the lectures, where the periodic potential corresponds to an array of delta functions: However, unlike the usual model, we will take α < 0, so that we have potential wells rather than barriers. In the following, we aim to solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation 2m r (a) First consider the case where the energy E 0. Write down the general solution for ψ(z) within the interval 0 < r < a, and use the...
