Which of the following functions represents acceptable wave function of a particle in the range $$ - \infty \leqslant x \leqslant \infty ?$$
A. $$\phi \left( x \right) = A\tan x,\,A > 0$$
B. $$\phi \left( x \right) = B\cos x,\,B{\text{ real}}$$
C. $$\phi \left( x \right) = C\exp \left( {\frac{D}{{{x^2}}}} \right),\,C > 0\,D < 0$$
D. $$\phi \left( x \right) = Ex\exp \left( { - F{x^2}} \right);E,F > 0$$
Answer: Option D
A. In the ground state, the probability of finding the particle in the interval $$\left( {\frac{L}{4},\,\frac{{3L}}{4}} \right)$$ is half
B. In the first excited state, the probability of finding the particle in the interval $$\left( {\frac{L}{4},\,\frac{{3L}}{4}} \right)$$ is half This also holds for states with n = 4, 6, 8, . . . .
C. For an arbitrary state $$\left| \psi \right\rangle ,$$ the probability of finding the particle in the left half of the well is half
D. In the ground state, the particle has a definite momentum
A. (e-ax1 - e-ax2)
B. a(e-ax1 - e-ax2)
C. e-ax2 (e-ax1 - e-ax2)
D. None of the above
