What are the units of a wave function

[emob2p]

My intuition is that it would be unitless. But if it's magnitude squared is a probability density, then its units would have to be 1 over some power of length. Specifically 1/L^(n/2) where n is the dimension. Where's the error in my thought? Thanks

No error. You're right.
