For the ground-level harmonic oscillator wave function (x) given in Eq. (40.24), | |2 has a maximum

Question:

For the ground-level harmonic oscillator wave function ψ(x) given in Eq. (40.24), | ψ |2 has a maximum at x = 0.
(a) Compute the ratio of | ψ |2 at = +A to | ψ |2 at x = 0, where A is given by Eq. (40.27) with n = 0 for the ground level.
(b) Compute the ratio of | ψ |2 at x = +24 to | ψ |2 at x = 0. In each case is your result consistent with what is shown in Fig. 40.20?
