Quantum mechanics: how to sketch the wave function?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on sketching the wave function in quantum mechanics, specifically addressing the integration of the function over the interval [0, b]. Participants emphasize the importance of considering the entire range and correctly identifying the function values at specific points. There is confusion regarding the representation of the wave function, with participants struggling to understand how to plot it accurately. Clarifications are provided about labeling axes and the necessity of using a single function rather than multiple values at one point. The conversation highlights the need for a clear understanding of the wave function's behavior across the defined intervals.

Your function has ONE value at any ONE point x. Not two, not three, not any other number.

you mean A=√3/b ?
 
  • #33
At what point is that the value of the function?
 
  • #34
at "A" from the integrated
 
  • #35
all what I need to draw is the values which are on the y-axis
and that is to describe the wave function ψ

the problem now is " what is the function on (0,b)"?

I'm not sure if I can summate the two parts from (0,a) to (a,b) without any other operator such as "integral" ?

actually I think it's not correct two ,, it leads to a complicated formulas !
but that's what I could think about to get one function as what you said ,,, !

please ,
I need to more help ()
