Functions of the form cos(nπx/L), where n = 1, 3, 5 …, can be used to model the wavefunctions of particles confined to the region between x = −L/2 and x = +L/2. The integration is limited to the range −L/2 to +L/2 because the wavefunction is zero outside this range. Show that the wavefunctions are orthogonal for n = 1 and 3. You will find the necessary integral in the Resource section.

Connection formulae for WKB approximation

In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger’s equation for certain systems with varying parameters cannot be solved directly. In such a case, an approximation method is used to obtain the approximate solution. WKB method is a special technique used to obtain the approximate solution for Schrödinger’s time-independent equation. In general, the WKB method is used to solve linear differential equations with varying coefficients. This method is called semiclassical approximation in quantum mechanics.
