Homework Statement
Hi, my task is to show that the momentum operator is hermitian.
I found a link, which shows how to solve the problem:
http://www.colby.edu/chemistry/PChem/notes/MomentumHermitian.pdf
But there are two steps that I don't understand:
1. Why does the wave function approach zero for long distances (for a confined particle)? Can someone explain me this?
2. I don't understand the last step. I got
And now i don't know how to use the last equation on the paper to show that it is the same.
Can someone help me?
