Question

Imagine that the horizontal box shown is instead oriented vertically. Also imagine the box to be on a neutron star where the gravitational field is so strong that the particle in the box slows significantly, nearly stopping, before it hits the top of the box. Make a qualitative sketch of the n = 3 de Broglie
standing wave of a particle in this box.
Hint: The nodes are not uniformly spaced.
