Consider the wave function

lPn(x)|2 is the probability of finding the particle at position x in the box. Since the
particle must be somewhere in the box, the integral of this function over the length of the
box must be equal to 1. This is the normalization condition and ensuring that this is the
case is called “normalizing" the wave function.
Find the value of A the amplitude of the wave function, that normalizes it.
Write the normalized wave function for the nth state of the particle in a box.
The radii of atomic nuclei are of the order of 5.0 * 10-15 m. (a) Estimate the minimum uncertainty in the momentum of a proton if it is confined within a nucleus. (b) Take this uncertainty in momentum to be an estimate of the mag- nitude of the momentum. Use the relativistic relationship between energy and momentum, Eq. (37.39), to obtain an estimate of the ki- netic energy of a proton confined within a nucleus. (c) For a proton to remain bound within a nucleus, what must the magnitude of the (negative) potential energy for a proton be within the nucleus? Give your answer in eV and in MeV. Compare to the potential energy for an electron in a hydrogen atom, which has a magnitude of a few tens of eV. (This shows why the interaction that binds the nucleus together is called the “strong nuclear force.”)
