The figure (Figure 1) shows the probability density for an electron that has passed through an experimental apparatus. What is the probability that the electron will land in a 1.00×102-mm-wide strip at x =0.000mm? x =0.500mm? x =1.000mm? x =2.000mm?

Solution

describing one half of the \"big triangle\" is 0.50(1-x/1nm), which is psi squared. Solving with x = zero then multiplying by two to account for the otehr half of the triangle, I get 0.5*2 = 1, which I multiplied by 2.4*10^-2 = 0.024
