Lecture 32

The document discusses the quantum mechanics of a particle trapped in an infinite potential well, detailing the wave functions and energy levels. It explains that the particle does not lose energy upon colliding with the walls and that the energy spectrum is discrete. Additionally, it provides calculations for the probability of finding the particle in various states within the well.
