Homework Statement
Assuming an infinite square well of radius 2.8E-13cm, find the normalized wave functions and the energies of the four lowest states for a nucleon.
2. The attempt at a solution
I want to say that the wave function is \psi (x) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{a}} sin(\frac{n \pi}{a} x). Which then leads to possible energies of E_{n}=\frac{n^{2} \pi^{2} \hbar^{2}}{2 m a^{2}}. Where in this case a = 2(2.8 \times 10^{-13}) = 5.6 \times 10^{-13}. And m would be the nucleon mass. Does this work?
