A particle trapped in a one dimensional potential energy well of infinite 

A particle trapped in a one dimensional potential energy well of infinite depth (a "box") and length "a" is in an energy state described by n = 4. What is the probability of finding the particle in the first quarter of the box between x = 0 and x = al4? b) If the particle falls to the ground energy state, will the probability of finding it on the same interval, between x = 0 and x = a/4, increase, decrease or remain the same? Show your reasoning. circle one: increase decrease remain the same
