Particle in a box : Schrodinger Eq
Hi, I'm trying to prove a wave equation of particle in a box situation. In many solutions, they used a equation like Eq = Asin(kx)+Bcos(kx). Instead, I want to prove using Eq = Aexp(ikx) + Bexp(-ikx). So, this is my solution. However, the original (well-known) solution is without i. (psi =...- postechsung
