The Finite Square Well Potential, case: E ≥ V_o



Our final problem before we head of to the harmonic oscillator. For the finite square well potential, the two interesting cases are when E ≥ V_o and E ≤ V_o. We look at the case where E ≥ V_o in which we expect a continuous doubly-degenerate energy spectrum.
