The allowed wavefunctions for a particle in a box are given by
Where L is the width of the box (m), and n is a quantum number. To graph a wavefunction enter the parameters (i.e., L, n) and hit New Plot.
Up to 5 plots can be displayed at one time. The Clear button will remove all plots. To see the parameters
for each plot hit the Legend on/off button. The Redraw button will refresh the graph. This is useful when
the function domain (i.e., x ) has been changed. To see the value of each plot at a given point,
move your cursor to the desired location then click and hold. Toggle between a plot of f(x) or f(x)2 by
clicking its radio button.
