The probability of locating a particle in a one-dimensional box is given by ψ*ψ dx. Over a small distance, the probability can be calculated without integration as ψ*ψΔx. Consider an electron with n = 1 in a box of length 2.400 nm.
Calculate the probability of locating the electron
(a) between 0.500 nm and 0.502 nm and
(b) between 0.999 nm and 1.001 nm. Comment on your results and on the validity of your approximation.
