I want to compute the fraction of time both particles spend outside the finite potential well. All I can get is the probability to find them outside. The wavefunction outside the potential is:
$$\frac{d^2\psi}{dr^2} = -L^2 \psi$$
Where:
$$L = \sqrt{\frac{2mE}{\hbar^2}}$$
Solving the differential equation one gets:
$$\psi = Esin(Lr + \delta)$$
More details (starting 7:02):
After some Math you get the coefficients and the probability is just ##\psi^2##.
But I am working all the time with the Time-independent Schrodinger equation so this approach, I'd say, is faulty so as to get the fraction of time.
May you give me a hint on this?
Thanks
