Question

Physics

Consider a particle in an infinite square well, but instead ofhaving the well from 0 to L as we have done in the past, it is nowcentered at 0 and the walls are at x = −L/2 and x = L/2.

(a) Draw the first four energy eigenstates of this well.

(b) Write the eigenfunctions for each of these eigenstates.

(c) What are the energy eigenvalues for this system?

(d) Can you find a general expression for the energy eigenstatesfor this well? (Hint: you should have a different form for even andodd solutions) (e) If instead, the well were from x = −L to x = L,how would these expressions change? Would the energy eigenvalueschange? (And if so, how?)
