  1. Region II Region III Region I V(x)=0 V(x)=∞ V(x)=∞ L 0 x Particle in a 1-Dimensional Box Time Dependent Schrödinger Equation PE KE TE Wave function is dependent on time and position function: 1 Time Independent Schrödinger Equation V(x)=0 for L>x>0 V(x)=∞ for x≥L, x≤0 Applying boundary conditions: Classical Physics: The particle can exist anywhere in the box and follow a path in accordance to Newton’s Laws. Quantum Physics: The particle is expressed by a wave function and there are certain areas more likely to contain the particle within the box. Region I and III: Region II:

  2. Finding the Wave Function Our new wave function: But what is ‘A’? This is similar to the general differential equation: Normalizing wave function: So we can start applying boundary conditions: x=0 ψ=0 x=L ψ=0 where n= * Calculating Energy Levels: Since n= * Our normalized wave function is:

  4. Particle in a 2-Dimensional Box Doing the same thing do these differential equations that we did in one dimension we get: A similar argument can be made: In one dimension we needed only one ‘n’ But in two dimensions we need an ‘n’ for the x and y component. Lots of Boring Math Our Wave Equations: Since For energy levels:

  6. Finding the Wave Function Substituting gives: So what is the wave equation? It can be generated from a super position of all of the symmetry operations! So if: And we recall our original definitions: But what plugs into these? If you recall: Substituting and simplifying gives: A1 Continuing with the others: A2 Energy Levels:
