Calculate the probability that a particle will be found in a tiny slice of space between 0.49L and 0.51L in a box of length L (defined in the interval (0,L) ) when it is in quantum state n = 1. For simplicity of integration, take the wavefunction to have a constant value equal to its midpoint value in the range given.
