Chapter 10, Problem 10.51E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of nodes for the one-dimensional particle-in-a-box in the state described by ${\Psi }_5$, ${\Psi }_{10}$ and ${\Psi }_{100}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The number of nodes for the one-dimensional particle-in-a-box in the state described as the position where probability of finding the electron is zero. These nodes do not include the boundary positions. At the node, the wavefunction gives a value of zero.
