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)
