Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 40.1 for quantum mechanics problems. Suppose a particle of mass m is confined to a one-dimensional box of length L. We can model this as an infinite square well in which the particle's potential energy inside the box is zero and the potential energy outside is infinite. For a particle in its first excited state, what is the probability Prob(center20%) of finding the particle within the center 20% of the box?
