Finding the momentum uncertainty for a particle-in-a-box
Homework Statement I'm looking at an electron-in-a-box with walls at x=0 and x=L; I want to calculate the uncertainty (delta p) in the measurement of its momentum: sqrt(<p^2>−<p>^2) for its nth excited state. Homework Equations The normalized wave function: psi_n(x)=sqrt(2/L)*sin(n*pi*x/L)...- bearsquared
