The wavefunction of an electron in a linear accelerator is = (cos )e ikx +(sin )e ikx
Question:
The wavefunction of an electron in a linear accelerator is ψ= (cos χ)eikx+(sin χ)e−ikx, where χ (chi) is a parameter. (i) What is the probability that the electron will be found with a linear momentum
(a) +kh,
(b) –kh?
(c) What form would the wavefunction have if it were 90 per cent certain that the electron had linear momentum +kh?
(d) Evaluate the kinetic energy of the electron.
