Simply read about hyperbolic functions, for example http://www.pinkmonkey.com/studyguides/subjects/trig/chap8/t0808401.asp , and next pages

Yes! When the well is more and more profound, the first level of the square well tends to the first level of an infinitely-deep well. For constant width, obviously. Thanks, cmos.

Yes, you are right jtbell, thank you. But my concern is about wells with finite depth, i.e. square wells.

Then, I understand that the first energy level increases its energy when the well is more profound. What happens with the number of energy levels inside the well? When the well is more profound, the number of levels increases?

When the depth of a quantum well increases, the first level increases or decreases its energy with respect of the bottom of the quantum well?
