Homework Statement
Hello, I need to calculate the expectation value for position and momentum for a wavefunction that fulfills the following relation:
ψ0(-x)=ψ0(x)=ψ*0(x)
The wave function is normalised.
Homework Equations
There is also a second wave equation that is orthogonal to the first:
ψ1=Nd0/dx
I also need to calculate <x> and <p> for this wavefunction, also normalised.
The Attempt at a Solution
I am tempted to go ahead and say that the expectation value for position for both wavefunctions is 0, as they are both even. As for momentum I am not certain as to how i should proceed, inserting the relevant operator just seems to indicate to me momentum will be zero.
