Question:
A particle of mass m in the infinite square well (of width a) starts out in the state
for some constant A, so it is (at t = 0) equally likely to be found at any point in the left half of the well. What is the probability that a measurement of the energy (at some later time t) would yield the value π2ћ2/2ma2?

I am graduated in Physics in 2018, from KIRORIMAL COLLEGE, University of Delhi. Now I am persuing Master's degree in physics. I like to do physics problems. I have experience of 1 year in tutoring. I think Physics is the only subject where you understand things,how they are happening . In physics you learn Maths and apply it. So I would like to join your platform to solve many Physics problems.
