If an electron is in an infinite 1-D square well of width L, how do you get oscillation frequency of the probability density for any energy state n?

In summary, the conversation discusses the oscillation frequency of the probability density for any energy state n in an infinite 1-D square well of width L. The concept of a "stationary state" is mentioned and it is determined that the frequency must be 0.

stationary state... I didn't understand that term till I found e^iwt disappear when it is squared.
so frequency has to be 0.
Thanks ^^
1. What is the meaning of "oscillation frequency" in the context of probability density?
Oscillation frequency refers to the rate at which the probability density function changes over time. It is a measure of how quickly the probability of a specific outcome changes as time passes.
2. How is the oscillation frequency of probability density determined?
The oscillation frequency of probability density is determined by the underlying dynamics of the system. It can be calculated by analyzing the behavior of the system over time and identifying patterns or cycles in the probability density function.
3. Can the oscillation frequency of probability density change?
Yes, the oscillation frequency of probability density can change depending on external factors or changes in the system itself. For example, if the system experiences a sudden disturbance or change, it may result in a different oscillation frequency.
4. How does the oscillation frequency of probability density relate to the concept of equilibrium?
The oscillation frequency of probability density is closely related to the concept of equilibrium. In a system that is in equilibrium, the oscillation frequency may be zero or very low, indicating a stable and balanced state. As the system moves away from equilibrium, the oscillation frequency may increase, reflecting the system's changing dynamics.
5. Can the oscillation frequency of probability density be used to make predictions about future outcomes?
Yes, the oscillation frequency of probability density can be used to make predictions about future outcomes in a system. By analyzing the changes in the probability density function over time, scientists can make estimations about the likelihood of future events or outcomes.
