What I like about this lecture is that I am getting it from an instructor without a Chinese accent.

[BTNHarmony18]

What I like to pay is nothing. Thank you sir.

this guy teaches this in 10 mins but my professor took 4 lectures and it still didnt make sense to me. this teacher is awesome.

[ProjectAKaio]

finally the jargon from lectures are beginning to make sense. thank you!

[SuperFamiLee]

THANKS A LOT THIS SAVED ME! KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!

[Robinrobinrobinl]

hey,for the wave function,what does the x-axis represent and what does y-axis repersent?

[supermanthesunny]

you are a phycis/chemistry god!

[javachip9]

thank you! these videos were very helpful!

An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional box with a length of 1.0´10-8 m.

What is the energy of the state in which the electron is most likely to be found in

the middle of the box?

Thank you so much for these videos they help a great deal!
