Chapter 1: Q5P (page 14)
Consider the wave function
whereA, 位, and 蝇 are positive real constants. (We鈥檒l see in Chapter for what potential (V) this wave function satisfies the Schr枚dingerequation.)
(a) Normalize .
(b) Determine the expectation values of and .
(c) Find the standard deviation of . Sketch the graph of , as a function ofx, and mark the points and , to illustrate the sense in which蟽 represents the 鈥渟pread鈥 inx. What is the probability that the particle would be found outside this range?
Short Answer
- The value of is
- The value of and
- The standard deviation is . The sketch is shown in the figure, andthe probability is .
