A particle of mass m is confined to a one-dimensional (1D) infinite well (i.e., a 1D box) of width 6 m. The potential energy is given by (0 <х < бт) U(x) = со (х < 0 аnd x > бт) The particle is in the n=5 quantum state. What is the lowest positive value of x (in m) such that the particle has zero probability of being found at x?

Question
A particle of mass m is confined to a one-dimensional (1D) infinite well (i.e., a 1D box)
of width 6 m.
The potential energy is given by
(0 < x < 6m)
U(x)
o (x < 0 and x > 6m)
The particle is in the n=5 quantum state. What is the lowest positive value of x (in m)
such that the particle has zero probability of being found at x?
