2. The energy of a particle in an infinite potential well is given as En = (n^2*pi^2*h_bar^2)/(2ma^2) and the wave-function is phi_n = sqrt(2/a)sin(n*pi/a * x), a is the width of the well. The energy of the particle is obtained in psi(x) = N * x^2 state, what is the probability of finding En = (n^2*pi^2*h_bar^2)/(2ma^2)

A particle is in a square infinite potential well of width $L$ and is in the $n=3$ state. What is the probability that, when observed, the particle is found to be in the rightmost $10.0 \%$ of the well?
A particle is confined to the one dimensional infinite potential well. If the particle is in its ground state, what is its probability of detection between x=0.75 L and x=L

Consider a particle moving in a one-dimensional potential-energy well (box) with infinitely high walls. The potential energy of the particle inside the well is U = 0 and outside the well U = infinity. The wave function describing this system is Psi_n(x) = (2/L)^(1/2) * SIN(nπx/L) for 0 ≤ x ≤ L. Psi_n(x) = 0 otherwise, where n = 1, 2, 3, ....
