Suppose a quanton's wavefunction at a given time is y(x) = Asin(27x/L) for -L≤x≤ L and y(x) = 0 everywhere else, where A is a scaling constant and L is a constant with untis of length. Suppose also the energy eigenfunction associated with the energy eigen- value E is VE(x) = Bcos(x/L) for-L≤x≤L and y(x) = 0 everywhere else, where B is a scaling constant. What is the probability that if we determine the quanton's energy, we get the result E? (Hint: Do not do an integral. Draw graphs of these functions and think about what the product of these function should look at. Recall that a function's integral delivers the area under that function's curve.)

5. Suppose a quanton's wavefunction at a given time is y(x) = Asin(2x/L) for - L≤x≤
L and y(x) = 0 everywhere else, where A is a scaling constant and L is a constant with
untis of length. Suppose also the energy eigenfunction associated with the energy eigen-
value E is VE(x) = Bcos(x/L) for-L<x</L and y(x) = 0 everywhere else, where
B is a scaling constant. What is the probability that if we determine the quanton's energy,
we get the result E? (Hint: Do not do an integral. Draw graphs of these functions and think
about what the product of these function should look at. Recall that a function's integral
delivers the area under that function's curve.)
