Consider a particle in a 1‐D quantum mechanical model. Show that the second derivatives of the wave functions of the particle are continuous if V(x) is a continuous function. Will you obtain a different conclusion if V(x) is NOT a continuous function? Here, you can assume that V(x) is a finite function.

We have examined the Particle in a Box problem in one dimension, meaning that we consider only one variable, x. We can go to higher dimensions, for example, we can consider what this would look like if we wanted to think about both x and y. In that case we would need to make some changes. The potential energy V(x) would become V(x,y), but would behave in a similar way as before. It would equal infinity if either x or...
