Consider the electron wave function $$\psi(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}c \sqrt{1-x^{2}} & |x| \leq 1 \mathrm{cm} \\0 & |x| \geq 1 \mathrm{cm}\end{array}\right.$$ where $x$ is in $\mathrm{cm}$. a. Determine the normalization constant $c$ b. Draw a graph of $\psi(x)$ over the interval $-2 \mathrm{cm} \leq x \leq 2 \mathrm{cm} .$ Provide numerical scales on both axes. c. Draw a graph of $|\psi(x)|^{2}$ over the interval $-2 \mathrm{cm} \leq x \leq$ 2 cm. Provide numerical scales. d. If $10^{4}$ electrons are detected, how many will be in the interval $0.00 \mathrm{cm} \leq x \leq 0.50 \mathrm{cm} ?$
The wave function of an electron is $$\psi(x)=\sqrt{\frac{2}{L}} \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{L}\right)$$ Calculate the probability of finding the electron between $x=0$ and $x=L / 4$
