    Why does the finite square well problem require numerical solutions?

    Homework Statement Introduction to Quantum Mech Griffiths 4.9for the problem of a finite square well v(r) = {-Vo r<= a (i will call section I) 0 r>a (section II)Homework Equations After I find uI and uII uI = A sin(K r) uII = De^-kr and then set the boundary condition uI =...

    Difference between expectation value and probabilty

    Thanks for your help. I converted over to momentum space using a Fourier transform then integrated. Your explanation saved me much time searching. Cheers!

    Difference between expectation value and probabilty

    Homework Statement Psi(x) = Ax -a<x<a I am trying to find the probability that my measured momentum is between h/a and 2h/a Homework Equations I have normalized A= sqrt(3/(2a^3)) I know that if I was finding the expected momentum I would use \int\Psi * p \Psi dx The...
