Q2 Consider a particle moving in one dimension and described by the following Hamil- tonian operator, H +x?. dx? (a) Verify that (x) = Ar exp is an eigenfunction of H and determine the associated eigenvalue. (b) Determine the value of A so that the norm of , | = V(, b) = 1 (i.e. the wavefunction is normalised to unity). %3D (Hint: Integrate by parts and use the result exp (-x²) dx = T.) (c) If the particle's quantum state is represented by v, write down an integral expression for the probability of finding the particle somewhere in the interval -1
