Note this is a Physics/Calculus question. A particle is described by the wave function: where L=2mm a) Sketch...

Hello!


The probability density is the square of the absolute value of a wave function, in our case it is for positive x's and  for negative x's.


The integral over the real axis of a probability density must be (the total probability). From this statement we can find



So really

(c) the probability of finding the particle within 1 mm of the origin is the integral of the probability density from to It is evidently



which is really 63.2%.
