This Demonstration illustrates the solutions of the transcendental equations that arise in solving for the bound-state energies and eigenfunctions of a quantum-mechanical particle interacting with a one-dimensional finite square-well potential. It also qualitatively shows how these solutions satisfy the boundary conditions required of bound-state eigenfunctions.
