28. Suppose a quantum particle is in its ground state in a box that has infinitely high walls (see Active Fig. 41.4a). Now suppose the left-hand wall is suddenly lowered to a finite height and width. (a) Qualitatively sketch the wave function for the particle a short time later. (b) If the box has a length L, what is the wavelength of the wave that penetrates the left-hand wall?
