Homework Statement
I need to normalize the following wave function in order to determine the value of the coefficients. This is from the basic finite square well potential.
[itex]\Psi(x) = Ae^{k_{1}x},for \ x < -a/2[/itex]
[itex]\Psi(x) = Csin(k_{2}x),for \ -a/2 \leq x \leq a/2[/itex]
[itex]\Psi(x) = De^{-k_{1}x}, for \ x > a/2[/itex]
Homework Equations
[itex]\int\left|\Psi(x)\right|^{2} dx = 1[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Do I do an integral for each region, with the limits of integration being the boundaries of each region, and that integral normalized to 1 for each of those regions? Or do I add up those integrals with the same limits of integration and then set that equal to 1?
