Question

Starting with the wave equation of a 1D box:

Ψ(x)=2Lsin(nπLx)

The classical probability of a particle existing in the region of the box [0, 1/L] is,

P(1/L)classical=1L

Where L is the length of the 1D box, n is the principle quantum number, and x is the position of the particle in a 1D box.

Derive an equation that calculates the probability of the particle being in the [0, 1/L] for the quantum mechanical particle in a 1D box. Is this result compatible with the correspondence principle?
