A particle is confined to a box with hard walls at x = −3 and x = 3 and an unknown potential energy function is added within the box.  Change the energy slider and examine the solutions to the Schrödinger equation for this system.  Examine each energy eigenfunction and sketch a potential energy function that is consistent with your observations.
