(a) A particle in a box has wave function Ï(x, t) = Ï 2 (x)e -iE2t/ ,...
Question:
(b) If instead the particle has wave function Ï(x, t) = (1/2)(Ï1(x)e-iE1t/ + Ï2(x)e-iE2t/) and the energy of the particle is measured, what is the result?
(c) If we had many identical particles with the wave function of part (b) and measured the energy of each, what would be the average value of all of the measurements? Can we say that, before the measurement was made, each particle had this average energy? Explain.
