Closing a particle in a box
Behavior of a classical particle closed in a box
Behavior of a quantum particle closed in a box
- properties found by solving Schrodinger’s equation
- possible ?: standing waves--> quantized wavelength
- quantized values of the possible energies
- one quantum number characterizing the states
II. Three dimensional (real) box
- three dimensional standing waves for ?
- quantized energy values
- three quantum numbers distinguish the states
