Questions and Answers

In a one-dimensional potential well of infinite height, what does the normalization of the wave function represent?

  • The uncertainty principle
  • The particle's mass
  • The probability of finding the particle in the well (correct)
  • The particle's energy level

What happens to the normalization constant if the potential well becomes wider?

  • It becomes negative
  • It remains unchanged
  • It decreases (correct)
  • It increases

What is the purpose of using the time-independent Schrödinger's wave equation for a particle in a one-dimensional potential well of infinite height?

  • To determine the particle's position
  • To calculate the particle's momentum
  • To obtain the expression for normalization of the wave function (correct)
  • To study the particle's spin
