In a region of space, a quantum particle with zero total energy has a wave function$$ \psi(x)=A x e^{-x^{2} / L^{\prime}}$$(a) Find the potential energy $U$ as a function of $x$. (b) Make a sketch of $U(x)$ versus $x$.
The wave function for a quantum particle is $$ \psi(x)=\sqrt{\frac{a}{\pi\left(x^{2}+a^{2}\right)}} $$ for $a > 0$ and $-\infty < x < +\infty$ . Determine the probability that the particle is located somewhere between $x=-a$ and $x=+a .$
