A half-infinite well has an infinitely high wall at the origin and one of finite height U_0 at x = L. The number of allowed states is limited just like the finite well. Making an assumption that it has only two energy states, E1 and E2, where E2 is not much below U_0. a. Make a sketch of the potential energy, then add plausible sketches of the two allowed wave functions on  separate horizontal axes whose heights are E1 and E2.
