function: ¦× 1 ( x ) = x ( L ? x ) .
wave function is ¦× 1 ( x ) =
a) Show that the approximate wave function satisfies the boundary conditions.
Solution: ¦× 1 ( 0 ) = 0 ( L ? 0 ) = 0 and ¦× 1 ( L ) = x ( L ? L ) = 0
b) There is a mathematical method called the Variational Method, that allows calculation
of the energy using an approximate wave function, assuming the wave function fits the
boundary conditions. The equation for the energy is:

c)According to the Variational Method, the more the approximate wave function
resembles the real wave function, the closer the energy matches the real energy. Graph
the approximate wave function and the real particle-in-the-box wave function. How
different are the energies? Calculate the percent difference.
For the purpose of doing the graph let L=1. Then the real wave function for n=1
is¦× 1,real ( x ) = 2 sin ¦Ð x and the trial wave function is ¦× 1,trial ( x ) = x (1 ? x )
The graph is:

Here I have normalized the wave functions to be equal in amplitude at the maximum
x=L/2. This is a good idea because the trial wave function is not normalized. The
normalization is necessary because otherwise the trial wave function is not valid. When
this is done the plot above results and we find the wave functions have a relative
difference of 4.1%, approximately. Not a bad guess.
2) Generally the quantization of translational motion is not significant for atoms because
of their mass. However, this conclusion depends upon the size of the space to which the
atoms are confined. Zeolites are structures with small cubic pores with edge length 1 nm.
Calculate the energy of a H2 molecule confined to a zeolite pore, assuming nx=ny=nz=10.
Compare this energy to kBT assuming T=300K. Are quantization effects important in this
case?
