About this document
Variational Methods for Particle in Box by ajparnaiba is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The document discusses using the variational principle to approximate the wave functions and energy levels of a particle in a one-dimensional infinite square well potential. 2) It introduces using a basis set of functions to express the trial wave function as a linear combination, which leads to a secular determinant and equations for the variational parameters and energy. 3) Different choices of basis functions are explored, including polynomials up to degree four, and results are obtained for approxi
