Question:

Normalization of the Wave Function Consider a particle moving in one dimension which we shall call the x-axis.
(a) What does it mean for the wave function of this particle to be normalized?
(b) Is the wave function ψ (x) = eax, where a is a positive real number, normalized? Could this be a valid wave function?
(c) If the particle described by the wave function ψ (x) = Aebx, where A and b are positive real numbers, is confined to the range x > 0, determine A (including its units) so that the wave function is normalized.
