Animation 1: Energy Eigenfunction | Animation 2: Energy Eigenfunction Contours | Animation 3: Probability Density | Animation 4: Probability Density Contours

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

Shown are the solutions to an unknown potential energy function in two dimensions (rectangular). You may change the value of the slider to change the quantum number associated with each dimension. In addition, you may view the energy eigenfunctions as a three-dimensional plot or as a contour plot and view the probability densities as either a three-dimensional plot or as a contour plot.

What is the potential energy well?
