Step 1
The wave function for the lowest energy level (n=1) is given by the equation: Ļā(x) = A sin(Ļx/L) where A is the amplitude of the wave and L is the length of the region where the particle is confined. Show moreā¦

Sketch the two lowest-energy wave functions for an electron in an infinite potential well that is $20 \mathrm{nm}$ wide and a finite potential well that is $1 \mathrm{eV}$ deep and is also $20 \mathrm{nm}$ wide. Using your sketches, can you determine whether the energy levels in the finite potential well are lower, the same, or higher than in the infinite potential well?

Two periodic waves of intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ pass through a region at the same time in the same direction. The sum of the maximum and minimum intensities is (a) $\left(\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}}\right)^{2}$ (b) $\left(\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}}\right)^{2}$ (c) $I_{1}+I_{2}$ (d) $2\left(I_{1}+I_{2}\right)$
