An electron is described by the wavefunction (x) 0 for x 0 

An electron is described by the wavefunction (x) 0 for x 0 V(x)=0, x < 0 V(x) = Ce (1-e), x > 0 where x is in nanometers and C is a constant. (a) Find the value of Cthat normalizes V. (b) Where is the electron most likely to be found; that is, for what value of x is the probability for finding the electron largest? (c) Calculate x for this electron and compare your result with its most likely position. Comment on any differences you find.
