This problem is about a particle in a 1-dimensional infinite well. Suppose the particle is in the n state. Also recall that Q refers to the expectation value of Q. a) (10 points) Find p2 for the particle (note: your answer will be in terms of n). You may find the trig identity cos20 = 1- 2 sin²0 helpful. b) (5 points) What is KE? Hint, recall how kinetic energy and momentum are related. c) (5 points) Recall that when we did a similar problem in class, we found that p = 0. Using this information, can Ax = 0?
