Questions and Answers

What is the property of the wave function ψ0(x) with respect to x?

  • ψ0(x) = ψ0(-x) (correct)
  • ψ0(x) = 1/x
  • ψ0(x) = -ψ0(-x)
  • ψ0(x) = 0

What is the relationship between ψ0(x) and ψ∗0(x)?

  • ψ0(x) = 2ψ∗0(x)
  • ψ0(x) = ψ∗0(-x)
  • ψ0(x) = -ψ∗0(x)
  • ψ0(x) = ψ∗0(x) (correct)

How is the wave function ψ1(x) related to ψ0(x)?

  • ψ1(x) = ψ0(x) + N
  • ψ1(x) = N ∫ψ0(x) dx
  • ψ1(x) = ψ0(x) / N
  • ψ1(x) = N dψ0/dx (correct)
