Schrodinger's Equation (see attached)

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

So this is how the function would look. |dw:1456315121936:dw|

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

Apart from that I don't have a clue.

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \left| A \right|^{2} }=\int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\left| \psi \right|^{2}dx\]

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

I got this, but i'm not sure.

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

then I get: \[\left| A \right|^2=-2e ^{\frac{ 2x }{ a }}\]

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

but A should be positive and real...

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Your integration must be wrong.

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

i double checked but can't see the problem

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Since you integrate between two limits (0 and +infinite), you must find an expression without x.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

I think \(A=\sqrt {\dfrac{2}{a}}\)

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

can you please walk me through how you got that?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

primitive of \(e^ {-\dfrac{2x}{a}}\) is \(-\dfrac a2 \;e^ {-\dfrac{2x}{a}}\)

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

Ah yes that's where I went wrong. thank you!

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

Is this the sketch for part (b)? |dw:1456319782195:dw|
