by the particle in a box and the free
particle?
A. particle in a box = 0, free particle
= $\hbar k$
B. prtaicle in a box = 0, free particle
= 0
C. particle in a box = $\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}$, free
particle = $\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}$
D. particle in a box = $\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}$, free
particle = 0
Your answer is correct.
