Hello, can anyone explain the full analysis of finite square potential well (bound state and scattering state) if

V(x) = -Vo, x <= 0 (region 1)
V(x) = 0, 0 < x < a (region 2)
V(x) = -Vo, x >= a (region 3)


It will be helpful if you can attach the analysis in .pdf format. Thank you in advance

I think you haven't read the guidelines for using the HW help section of the forum (useful read here https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=94380). The idea is that you and I mean you should find the solution to your homework, not asking for someone else to solve your homework. And if possible, in greatest detail.

So no, nobody will explain to you the <full analysis of finite square potential well (bound state and scattering state) if

V(x) = -Vo, x <= 0 (region 1)
V(x) = 0, 0 < x < a (region 2)
V(x) = -Vo, x >= a (region 3)>

and most certainly nobody will attach a pdf with it.

You're invited to look for this analysis in your textbook, in other books, or on the internet and should you have any questions regarding the material you have found, post them here, but first try to find the answer by yourself before asking for help.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
