For a particle in a finite box, which of the following is false?
A) The energies are quantized for bound states.
B) The bound-state wave functions at the walls do not have to be zero.
C) The wave function can exist outside the walls.
D) There are the same number of bound states in a finite box as in a box with infinite walls.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of bound states in a finite box is finite and depends on the size of the box, while there are infinitely many bound states in a box with infinite walls. Therefore, there are not the same number of bound states in a finite box as in a box with infinite walls.
