Week 11-12

.Learning Outcomes:

  • We begin by examining some general properties of one-dimensional motion and discussing the symmetry character of the solutions.
  • Then, in the rest of the lessons, we apply the Schrödinger equation to various one-dimensional potentials: the free particle, the potential step, the finite and infinite potential wells.
