(x) The figure above shows one of the possible energy eigenfunctions y(x) for a particle bouncing freely back and forth along the x-axis between impenetrable walls located at x = -a and x = +a. The potential energy equals zero for x> a. If the energy of the particle is 2 electron volts when it is in the quantum state associated with this eigenfunction, what is its energy when it is in the quantum state of lowest possible energy? (a) 0 eV (b) 1/√2 ev (c). 1/2 eV (d) 1 eV (x) The figure above shows one of the possible energy eigenfunctions y(x) for a particle bouncing freely back and forth along the x-axis between impenetrable walls located at x = -a and x = +a.
