PART A

Q1. Determine the probability that the particle having wave function

is located somewhere between x=-b and x= +b.

Q2.An electron that has energy of 6.00 eV moves between infinitely high walls 1.00nm apart. Find (a)
the quantum number n for the energy state that the electron occupies and (b) the precise energy of
electron.

Q3. A photon with the wavelength λ is absorbed by an electron confined to a box. As a result, the
electron moves from state n=1 to n=4. (a) Find the length of the box.(b) What is the wavelength of
the photon emitted in the transition of that electron from the state n=4 to the state n=2?

PART B

Q4.The wave function of a quantum particle is

Where A , B and k are constants. Show that is a solution of the Schrodinger equation, assuming
the particle is free, and find the corresponding energy E of the particle.

Q5. Compare the wave functions and energy levels of a box extending from x=0 to x=L and the other
extending from x= to x= , where x≠0.

Q6. Prove that the first term in the Schrodinger equation ( )), reduces to
the kinetic energy of the quantum particle multiplied by the wave function (a) for a freely moving
particle, with the wave function

and for a particle in a box with wavefunction given by

sin( .
