The Attempt at a Solution


I guess I was a bit confused how to get started with this.. there's nothing like this in my notes so I'm kinda guessing. but from the picture I can see E is a staight line (constant) and it only oscillates when E>V0 otherwise it is decaying (e^x or something). So i graphed rough sketch of the wave function..am I doing anything that is wrong?

Your understanding of what to do is correct. Of course in the region when the energy of the particle is greater than the potential: one measures a free particle like solution with varying frequencies.

There are two questionable parts for me in your solution. There isn't a decay before the first measurable wall and the second well oscillates too slowly being only 2 units higher than the first.
 
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...
