Please wait for the animation to completely load.
Shown is an infinite square well with L = 2 (from x = −1 to x = 1) to which you can add five potential energy steps:
| V1 | V2 | V3 | V4 | V5 |
| -1< x < -0.6 | -0.6< x < -0.2 | -0.2 < x < 0.2 | 0.2< x < 0.6 | 0.6 < x < 1 |
by using one of the five sliders to change the size of this addition. To see the other bound states, simply click-drag in the energy level diagram on the left to select a level. The selected level will turn red. For the animation we have set: ħ = 2m = 1.
