Homework Statement
A particle with mass m is trapped inside the infinite potential well:
0<x<L : U(x) = 0
otherwise: U(x) = ∞
ψ(x,t=0) = Ksin(3∏x/L)cos(∏x/L)
What energies can be measured from this system, what are the probabilities for these energies ?
Homework Equations
Schrödinger equation, |ψ(x,t)|^2 = 1
The Attempt at a Solution
I can solve this type of problem normally when ψ = Asin(...) + Bcos(...), but the look of the ψ function confuses me. My guess i should use the Schrödinger equation to give me E like normally.. but maybe that's not how I am supposed to do this. If it is, my math skills are not good enough. I've been trying quite hard to get something good out of (d/dx)^2(ψ) / ψ .
So thanks in advance for any help i can get. :)
