Energy & Momentum of a Wavefunction and their Probabilities
Not what you're looking for?
The wave function of a particle of mass m that moves in a region of uniform potential V_0 is
psi(x) = A(cos kx + cos 2kx),
where A and k are constants. Momentum is measured; what are the possible outcomes and their probabilities? Starting with the same initial wave function psi(x) a measurement of the energy is made; what are the possible outcomes and their probabilities?
