Homework Equations
for an infinitely deep q well of width L
[itex]\psi(x)=\sqrt{\frac{2}{L}}Sin\frac{4\pi x}{L}[/itex]
[itex]<\psi_{n}|\psi_{m}>=0[/itex]
[itex]<\psi_{n}|\psi_{n}>=1[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Taking the inner product;
[itex]<\psi|\psi>=a<\psi|\psi_{1}>+b<\psi|\psi_{2}>[/itex]
[itex]<\psi|\psi>=a<\psi_{1}|\psi_{1}>+b<\psi_{2}|\psi_{2}>[/itex]
[itex]1=a+b[/itex]
from the second part of the question 3a=b and thus a=.25 b=.75
I kind of went out on a limb with this and I'm not sure if its correct. It seems very little work for the available marks and I'm just not sure if the second part is ok?
