For a particle in a 1-dimensional box confined by 0<x<a.
a)Construct a wave function phi(x)=psi(x,t=0) such that when an energy measurement is made on the particle in this state at t=0, the following energy values are obtained with the probabilities shown:
Energy E_n Obtained : E_1 E_3 E_5
Probability of Obtaining E_n : 0.5 0.4 0.1
b) Is this answer unique? Why or why not? Illustrate with an example.
