Probability distribution of the momentum value p

[NEWO]

gosh this work is causing me some grief,

if some one can highlight a few tips i would be greatfull

q) determine the probability distribution of the momentum value p in the ground state of the hydrogen atom?

i know what the groundstate of the of the hydrogen atom is but i don't know how to apply it to this

thanks for any help

You should be able to model the hydrogen atom using the one dimensional square potential well with sides x=0, x=L. Use hydrogen's atomic diameter as the well width.

Why not just Fourier transform the ground state wavefunction and get the exact result?
