Abstract

A chart for the quantum mechanics of a particle of mass $m$ in a one-dimensional potential well of width $w$ and depth $V_0$ is derived. The chart is obtained by normalizing energy and potential through multiplication by ${8 m}{w^2} / h^2$, and gives directly the allowed couples (potential, energy), providing insights on the relation between the parameters and the number of allowed energy levels.
