Lower energy solutions to the TDSE

Find the solution to the TISE for the case tex2html_wrap_inline473 . Be certain that your solution satisfies all appropriate conditions. You need not normalize your wave function. In your solution, let k be the de Broglie wave vector for the particles when x;SPMlt;0 and tex2html_wrap_inline479 be the exponential decay constant for the particles when x;SPMgt;0.
Hint: Choosing solutions of the form tex2html_wrap_inline483 , tex2html_wrap_inline485 , tex2html_wrap_inline487 , tex2html_wrap_inline489 will simplify your algebra considerably.
