When a particle is restricted to move along x-axis between x=0 and x=a , where alpha if of nenometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends x=0 and x=a . The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum p of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass m is related to its linear momentum as E=(p^2)/(2m) . Thus the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number n taking values 1,2,3, ...( n=1 , called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave.
