Eigenfunction and Eigenvalue of momentum operator

icejipo

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Find all eigenfunction of momentum operator in x(px=h/i*d/dx) and their eigenvalues.

2. Relevant equations
operator*eigenfunction=eigenvalue*eigenfunction
Operator=px

3. The attempt at a solution

I really dont have any clues

Thank you

Hi icejipo! Welcome to PF!

(have a lamda: λ

)

Hint: for an eigenfunction, you need to solve the equation (h/i)dy/dx = λy, for any constant λ.
