Particle in a Box

We looked at problems/simulations on the Pearson physics website for section 20.2 LINKAGE

Answers to the questions:
1. λ=2*L
2. λ=h/p = h/(2L)
3. E=p^2/(2m) = h^2/(8m*L)
4. it will decrease
5. ground state ->0 & spacing goes to 0
6. Ground state energy and spacing is 0
7. the center of the box
8. It doesn't, it depends on L
9. Yes, probability of detection stays highest at the center
10. As n gets larger, regions of probability blur together.
