The intensity of a transition between the states n and n of a particle in a box

Question:

The intensity of a transition between the states n and n′ of a particle in a box is proportional to the square of the integral μnn′ wherepnn' = -e [4 0 Unxels, dx

(a) Can there be a transition between states with quantum numbers 3 and 1?

(b) Consider the transition between states with quantum numbers 2 and 1. Does the intensity decrease or increase as the box lengthens?
