Imagine a particle free to move in the x direction. Which of the following wavefunctions would be acceptable for such a particle? In eachcase, give your reasons for accepting or rejecting each function. (i) Ψ(x)=x2; (ii) Ψ(x)=1/x; (iii) Ψ(x)=e-x^2.
A normalized wavefunction for a particle confined between 0 and L in the x direction is ψ = (2/L)1/2 sin(πx/L). Suppose that L = 10.0 nm. Calculate the probability that the particle is (a) between x = 4.95 nm and 5.05 nm, (b) between x = 1.95 nm and 2.05 nm, (c) between x = 9.90 nm and 10.00 nm, (d) between x = 5.00 nm and 10.00 nm.
