Higher energy solutions to the TDSE

 

Find the solution to the TISE for the case tex2html_wrap_inline491 . Be certain that your solution satisfies all appropriate conditions. You need not normalize your wave function. In your solution, let tex2html_wrap_inline493 be the de Broglie wave vector for the particles when x;SPMlt;0 and tex2html_wrap_inline497 be the de Broglie wave vector for the particles when x;SPMgt;0.
Hint: Choosing solutions of the form tex2html_wrap_inline501 , tex2html_wrap_inline503 , tex2html_wrap_inline505 , tex2html_wrap_inline507 will simplify your algebra considerably.

Make two sketches of your wave function for cases where tex2html_wrap_inline509 so that tex2html_wrap_inline511 . The first sketch should be in a case where tex2html_wrap_inline513 , and the second for a case where tex2html_wrap_inline515 , where n is an integer. Pay particular attention to the relative amplitude of the oscillations of the wave functions for x;SPMlt;0 as compared to x;SPMgt;0.
