Question 24 POST_UTME_UI • 2023 • PHYSICS • objective

A quantum particle has a wave function given by \psi(x) = Ae^{-\alpha x^2}. If the particle is in a box of length 1 m, what is the probability of finding the particle in the region 0.5 m < x < 0.6 m?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. \frac{A^2}{2\alpha} \( e^{-\alpha \( 0.5 \ \)^2} - e^{-\alpha (0.6)^2})
B. \frac{A^2}{2\alpha} \( e^{-\alpha \( 0.6 \ \)^2} - e^{-\alpha (0.5)^2})
C. \frac{A^2}{2\alpha} \( e^{-\alpha \( 0.5 \ \)^2} + e^{-\alpha (0.6)^2})
D. \frac{A^2}{2\alpha} \( e^{-\alpha \( 0.6 \ \)^2} + e^{-\alpha (0.5)^2})
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
\frac{A^2}{2\alpha} \( e^{-\alpha \( 0.5 \ \)^2} - e^{-\alpha (0.6)^2})
