For a particle (of mass m) in a box with walls at -a and +a, the wave function for n = 1 is:
Added by Kevin O.
Step 1
The particle is confined in a one-dimensional box with walls at positions -a and +a. This means the potential \( V(x) \) is zero inside the box (i.e., for \( -a < x < a \)) and infinite outside this region. Show more…

A particle of mass ' ( m ) ' is located inside cubic box of size ' ( a ) '. The potential(2) inside the box ( (0 leq x<a ; 0 leq y<a ; 0 leq z<a) )is zero and infinite outside. If the particle is in an eigenstate of energy ( E=frac{14 pi^{2} h^{2}}{2 m a^{2}} ). Show that,[psi(x)=left(frac{2}{a}right)^{frac{1}{2}} sin left(frac{pi x}{a}right) sin left(frac{2 pi y}{a}right) sin left(frac{3 pi z}{a}right)]
