To determine

Show that A=2L using normalization condition on ψ.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The normalized solution to the Schrodinger equation for a particular potential is ψ = 0 for x <0, and Ψ(x)=(2/a^{3/2}) x exp(-ax) for x>=0. What is the probability of finding a particle at this potential between x = a - 0.027a and x = a + 0.027a?
The wave function for a quantum particle confined to moving in a one-dimensional box located between x = 0 and x = L is                                                        ψ(x) = A sin (nπx/L)Use the normalization condition on ψ to show that                                                               A = √2/L
