Answer to Question #324259 in Quantum Mechanics for Harish

Question

Normalize wave function psi where psi(x) = {e^-ax for x>0 e^ax for x<0

Answer 1

Answer

The wave-function is said to be normalized when it's gives one when we operate itself.

therefore : Example 1: A particle is represented by the wave function : where A, ω and a are real constants. The constant A is to be determined. Example 3: Normalize the wave function ψ=Aei(ωt-kx), where A, k and ω are real positive constants
