A particle in box is constrained to move in one dimension, like a bead on a wire, as illustrated in Fig. 28.16. Assume that no forces act on the particle in the interval 0

Using this relationship, show that the €œallowed€ kinetic energies Kn of the particle are given by Kn = n2[h2 / (8mL2)], where n = 1, 2, 3, ... and m is the particle€™s mass.
