particle in a one dimensional box
. Consider a particle of mass m which can move freely along the x-axis anywhere from x+-a/2 to x= a/2, but which is strictly prohibited from being found outside this region. The particle bounces back and forth between the wall at x=a/2 of box. The walls are assumed to be completely impenetrable, no matter how energetic is the particle. Using the following wave function and time dependent Schroedinger equation:
y(x,t)= Acos (px/a)e^-I(E/h)t, for -a/2,x,a/2
0 for x£-a/2 or x³a/2
Determine the lowest energy state E for the system
Determine the expectation values of x, p, x², and p². Explain where these values come from please.
