Q#07. Consider the following three wave functions:
41y) = A,e¬y²
P2v) = Aze-&²/2) 3(v) = A3 (e¯y² + ye-*/2)
where A1, 42, and A3 are normalization constants.
(a) Find the constants A1, A2, and A3 so that 2, P1, and wz are normalized.
(b) Find the probability that each one of the states will be in the interval -1< y< 1.
For a "particle in a box" of length, L, the wavelength for the nth level is given by An

lPn(x)|2 is the probability of finding the particle at position x in the box. Since the
particle must be somewhere in the box, the integral of this function over the length of the
box must be equal to 1. This is the normalization condition and ensuring that this is the
case is called “normalizing" the wave function.
Find the value of A the amplitude of the wave function, that normalizes it.
Write the normalized wave function for the nth state of the particle in a box.
Equation (39.30) states that the energy of a system can have uncertainty. Does this mean that the principle of conservation of energy is no longer valid? Explain.
