Homework Statement
A particle is moving in a simple harmonic oscillator potential V(x)=1/2*K*x^2 for x[tex]\geq0[/tex], but with an infinite potential barrier at x=0 (the paddle ball potential). Calculate the allowed wave functions and corresponding energies.
Homework Equations
I am thinking that the wave function would be [tex]\Psi=Ae^(i*x*sqrt{2m(E-1/2*k*x^2)}/hbar)+Be^(-i*x*sqrt{(2mE-1/2*K*x^2)}/hbar)
Is this the right wave function? How do I go about finding the energies? Thanks for any help you can afford!
(Sorry for the incompetency with Latex)
