Particle in one dimension wave function from Quantum Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a quantum mechanics problem related to a particle's wave function in one dimension. The user expresses uncertainty about how to plot the graph of their solution and mentions using Overleaf LaTeX for plotting. Suggestions include using Excel's ERF function for graphing. Additionally, there is advice on verifying the correctness of their previous answers by troubleshooting and checking the integration results. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-assessment in problem-solving.

But me not sure how to plot the graph. Maybe someone knows?

Merci

With a plotting program? Excel has the ERF function that you can use.

I plotted in overleaf latex

Do you know if the other parts (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) are good?

Best wishes to you

What do you think? There comes a time when you need to troubleshoot your own work. Look at your answers and try to prove them wrong. If you can't, then they are probably correct.

For example, in (i) when you integrated did you get 1 or did you not?
In (ii), is you answer the magnitude-squared of what you got in (i) or is it not?

And so on.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
