Question #93611

What is a well behaved wave function? Illustrate with example

Expert's answer

Solution.

The following properties are characteristic of the wave function of good behavior:

1. The wave function must be unambiguous.

2. The function must be finite and continuous in the entire area of space.

3. The function ∣Ψ∣2|\Psi|^2 must have a finite integral over the entire space.

Example:

f(x)=cos(x)f(x) = cos(x)
