In a one-dimensional particle in a box,for $\varPsi$ ₄,how many nodes are predicted?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the general equation for a one-dimensional particle in a box, the number of nodes is given by n-1, where n is the quantum number. In this case, there are three quantum numbers (F1F1F1S1, 0_4,), so the predicted number of nodes is 3-1=2. The nodes occur at the points where the wavefunction equals zero, and they represent the points in space where the particle has zero probability of being found. Therefore, the correct answer is B)3.
