Homework Statement
for a wave function confined between x=0 and x=L find an expression for A in order that the wave function be normalized
The Attempt at a Solution
for a particle in a box between 0 and L the normalized wave function is integral of C2sin2(n[tex]\pi[/tex]x/L).dx = 1
using trig identities this results in C2L/2 so then C = sqrt(2/L)
also C = 2iA so equate equations for C for an ewuation to A
2iA = sqrt(2/L)
so A = (sqrt(2/L)) / 2i
squaring both sides gives A2 = (2/L) / (-4)
then this gives A to be a sqrt of a negative number. do i just use i?
so then its A= (1/2L)i ??
then i need to find probability that the particle is in the ragion 0<x<L/4 ? with no expression for x?
