Normalization of a wavefunction
A quantum system has a measurable property represented by the observable S with possible eigenvalues nħ, where n = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. the corresponding eigenstates have normalized wavefunctions Ψn. the system is prepared in the normalized superposition state given by, *Please see attached for equation*
