question 32

Multiple Choice

Particle in a box: A particle is confined to a one-dimensional box (an infinite well) on the x-axis between x = 0 and x = L. The potential height of the walls of the box is infinite. The normalized wave function of the particle, which is in the ground state, is given by ψ(x) = sin , with 0 ≤ x ≤ L. What is the probability of finding the particle between x = 0 and x = L/3?
