Consider a particle moving in a one-dimensional box with walls at x = -L/2 and L/2. (a) Write the wavefunction and probability density for the state n=1. (b) If the particle has a potential barrier at x =0 to x = L/4 (where L = 10 angstroms) with a height of 10.0 eV, what would be the transmission probability of the electrons at the n = 1 state? (c) Compare the energy of the particle at the n= 1 state to the energy of the oscillator at its first excited state.
