Physical chemistry: determine the normalization constant for the following funct
« on: March 06, 2016, 11:35:31 PM »
The wavefunction for a particle on a ring is given by Ψ(φ) = N(e^(i*theta) + 2e^(i*2theta))
(a)(6) Determine the normalization constant N.



(b)

(b)(10) Calculate the expectation value of the angular momentum of this particle.

You have to show your efforts at solving the problem, this is the forum policy.

Heres what I got so far

Broke it up into 4 seperate intergals

1st intergral ends up beng 2pi

2nd+3rd end up being 0

last intergral ends up being 10 pi

10piN^2=`

my final answer is N=1/((10pi))^(1/2)

which makes makes sense, since the normalization constant for a particle on a ring is 1/((2pi))^(1/2)
