(e) For wavefunctions that are solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger equation, TISE, that pertains to the finite square well for the case E < Uo, i.e. for bound states (see Fig. 1 below), the solutions have sharp energies, i.e. AE = 0. What does this imply about the lifetimes of these states? Explain briefly.

What does this imply about the sharpness or otherwise of the energies of the states in the well? Explain briefly.
