A particle is confined to the one-dimensional infinite potential well of width L. If the particle is in the
n=2 state, what is its probability of detection between a) x=0, and x=L/4; b) x=L/4, and x=3L/4; c) x=3L/4,
and x=L? Hint: You can double check your answer if you calculate the total probability of the particle being
trapped in the well.

Please answer as soon as possible.
