how is the wavefunction of 1-D infinite well modified by the application of an electric field to the well.
A wavefunction is a mathematical description of the quantum state of a particle or system. It represents the probability amplitude of finding the particle in a particular state at a specific time.
When an electric field is applied to a quantum system, it can cause the wavefunction to change shape and magnitude. This is known as a modification to the wavefunction.
Modifying the wavefunction with an electric field allows us to manipulate and control the quantum state of a particle or system. This has important applications in quantum computing and other technologies.
No, the direction in which the wavefunction is modified depends on the direction of the electric field. The wavefunction will change in the direction of the electric field.
Yes, there is a maximum amount that the wavefunction can be modified. This is determined by the strength of the electric field and the properties of the particle or system being manipulated.
