Homework Statement
A particle of mass (m) moves in the one-dimensional potential
V(x) = V0 0 ≤ x ≤ a
= ∞ otherwise
Wave function of the particle is ψ(x,t) = C sin ([itex]\frac{x\pi}{a}[/itex]exp[-iωt]
Determine V0
Homework Equations
Schrödinger's Equations
Time-independent
Hψ(x) + V(x)ψ=i[itex]\hbar[/itex][itex]\frac{\partialψ}{\partial t}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I got extremely confused because usually when I run into these questions, the wave function is not a function of time.
So I don't actually know "how" to solve this equation. Do I separate the variables in the wave function and try to solve for E?
Do I use the time-dependent equation? If so how do I solve for E.
No need to show the math, but please take me through every step.
Thanks
