In a finite Potential well, the potential energy outside the box is ____________

A finite potential well is a concept in quantum mechanics that describes a particle confined to a region of space. It's also known as a finite square well.  A finite potential well is an extension of the infinite potential well. In a finite potential well, there's a chance the particle will be found outside the box. In a finite potential well, a particle can exist if its energy is lower than the potential barrier. The particle will behave like a standing wave, with discrete energy levels and corresponding wave functions.  In a finite square well, potential energy has a constant value... Show more

A finite potential well is an extension of the infinite potential well. In a finite potential well, there's a chance the particle will be found outside the box.
In a finite potential well, a particle can exist if its energy is lower than the potential barrier. The particle will behave like a standing wave, with discrete energy levels and corresponding wave functions. 
In a finite square well, potential energy has a constant value within a finite region and zero value for all other regions. Bound states are stable energy states of particles confined within the well.
