Is momentum operator [tex]\frac{\hbar}{i}\frac{\partial}{\partial\ x }[/tex] is Hermitian only for a normalized wave function?What is the case for the box normalization as done for a free particle?
Actually when we prove the Hermiticity of the momentum operator, we do simple by parts integartion and use the scalar products.I never bothered about whether the wave function is normalized or not.
Can anyone suggest anything?
