Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In this article,via numerical method,we have shown the wave function diagrams corresponding to the different analytical solutions of the infinitely deep square potential,and the reason which causes the different phase of the analytic solution has been discussed.The probability density distribution curve is given,through which we found that the probability density distribution of the analytical solutions are identical even though the phase of them are different.This conclusion reflects in one side that a phase factor difference of the wave functions can exist in quantum mechanics.
