Consider the particle in a 1D-box, whose wave function is given by: ?(x)=(L2?)21?sin(Ln??x)n=1,2,3…0<x<L a) [3] Show that the wave function is a solution to the Schrodinger equation for all ' n '. b) [3] Show that the wave function is normalized for all ' n '. c) [5] Derive an expression for the probability of finding the particle from x=L/4 to L/2 (from the first quarter of the box to the middle of the box) for any state n. What is the numeric value of probability for the ground state? d) [4] Determine the expectation value ?p^?x2??. e) [3] What is the variance in the measurement of px? ? NOTE: for parts d and e, you can argue on physical grounds that certain expectation values may have a particular value as long as you provide a clear argument.
