Physical significance of normalizing a wave function?

[saravanan13]

Dear friends
In quantum mechanics what is the physical significance of normalizing a wave function?

Thanks in well advance

It makes some formulas look nicer. (Short answer yes, but there isn't much more to say).

hi
in fact physical interpretation is statistical interpretation.this means sum of probability is 1 and we interpretated square of wawe function is probability of position.

The normalization is a consequence of the statistical content of wavefunctions. We normalize vectors to unity to keep a lot of formulas simpler, without the need to always divide vectors by their modulus.
