Find the probability that a particle in a box L wide can be found between x=0 and x=L/n when it is in the n-th state.
Added by Derek N.
Step 1
This can be found using the equation: ψn(x) = √(2/L)sin(nπx/L) where n is the quantum number for the state and x is the position of the particle in the box. Show more…

What are the probabilities of finding a particle in the state n = 1 between x = 0.25L and x = 0.75L in a box of length L?
A particle in a one-dimensional box of length $L$ is in its first excited state, corresponding to $n=2 .$ Determine the probability of finding the particle between $x=0$ and $x=$ $L / 4$.
