An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite potential well that is 170 pm wide; the electron is in its ground state. What is the probability that you can detect the electron in an interval of width ôx = 5.0 pm centered at x = 81 pm? (Hint: The interval 6x is so narrow that you can take the probability density to be constant within it.) Number i Units
