need some help for this quantum mechanics problem

Hi, this is a problem from my engineering class, which currently I have no clue how to start this, so I'm wondering if anyone can give me some hints so I can get start on this problem. Any help will be appricated. thanks.


Part C (10 points) One of the first equations students taking quantum mechanics are asked to solve is:


ktan (kL/2) = sqrt (b^2-k^2)


Write a program which prompts the user to enter values for b and L (both positive) and then calculates k. Some
combinations of b and L give multiple solutions for k. There will always be exactly one solution for k between 0 and 3.14/L , this is the solution you should find. The name of this program must be QWell.c

>>program which prompts the user to enter values for b and L (both positive)
assuming you know basics of c you can easily do this.

>>then calculates k.
rewrite the equation such that
k=some function of(B,L)
The compiler will calculate the value ok for you.

>>Some combinations of b and L give multiple solutions for k. There will always be exactly one solution for k between 0 and 3.14/L , this is the solution you should find
Check with conditional loop if the value you have found lie in the region

thank you. i think i have some idea right now

Well if its any help

it simplifies to:

cos(kL/2) = k/b

half angle formulae?
