C:D:E:8. (3 min) Is the energy of this wave function in Question 7 quantized? That is, would a very slightlyaltered energy also yield a satisfactory wave function? Explain your thinking.9. (3 min) The wave function below is a solution to the Schödinger equation for exactly the samepotential energy curve as the one in Question 7, and it has exactly the same total energy. Whatmust have changed? Explain.10. (1 min) Don't waste time on this unless you havecompleted the rest of the rest of the exam.The small figure at the right is an overlay of thewave function of Question 7 with that ofQuestion 9. Explain why the latter does notextend as far to right or left as the former andwhat this teaches about tunnelling.
