= 5.5 The one-dimensional parity operator II is defined by П(x) (-x). In other words, II changes x into -x everywhere in the function. (a) Is II a Hermitian operator? (b) For what potentials V(x) is it possible to find a set of wavefunc- tions which are eigenfunctions of the parity operator and solutions of the one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation?
