A particle of mass m is trapped between two perfectly rigid parallel walls. The particle bounces back and forth between the walls without losing any energy. From a wave point of view, the particle trapped between the walls is like a standing wave in a stretched string between the walls. Distance between the two walls is L. (a) Calculate the energy difference between third energy state and the ground state (lowest energy state) of the particle. (b) Calculate the ground state energy if the mass of the particle is m = 1 mg and separation between the walls is L = 1 cm .

The figure shows the snapshot of a travelling sine wave in a string. Four elemental portions a,b,c and d are indicated on the string. The elemental portion with maximum potential energy is/are

De-Broglie hypothesized that material particles have wave like properties. Figure shows a small particle in a box. The particle simply bounces back and forth at constant speed. As particles also have wave like properties it can be considered to be a wave reflecting back and forth from the ends of the box. The reflections will create a standing wave analogous to standing wave on a string tied at both ends. Since a standing wave confined to a region can have only selected wavelength, momentum of the particle is quantized. We can safely assume that such a particle only has kinetic energy. This energy must also be quantized. What is the particle's energy in n^(th) state?
