Position Operator

WarmUp Exercise #13, 10/7  (Assignment Due 10/9)

Please answer the  following 2 questions regarding the Physlet:
State 1 State 2

Shown is the time-dependent wave function and the real (red) and imaginary (green) parts of the probability density for a particle in a finite square well of length a = 2.   The wave function evolves with time according to the TDSE.  You may change the state by choosing State 1 or State 2. 

Questions

  1. Are the states shown eigenstates of the finite well?  
  2. Why or why not? Make sure to include as much of your reasoning as possible.
 

Answer in the form below, a short answer for each is fine. 
This report is due by 8:00 am Thursday morning.
