[tex]{p = -ih_{bar} \int (\Psi^{\star} \frac {\partial \Psi}{\partial x}) dx}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I think eventually I'll be able to find the complex conjugate by just working through it. The problem really arises when I would go into integrate. I tried using Euler's rule (e^ix=isinx+cos) on the the two exponentials in the exponential in the wave function (e^-2iωt and e^-iωt).
Even after doing that, I see no way to integrate this wave-function! Any help would be appreciated on this problem.
