Paper 4, Section I, B
(a) Define the probability density and probability current for the wavefunction of a particle of mass . Show that
and deduce that for a normalizable, stationary state wavefunction. Give an example of a non-normalizable, stationary state wavefunction for which is non-zero, and calculate the value of .
(b) A particle has the instantaneous, normalized wavefunction
where is positive and is real. Calculate the expectation value of the momentum for this wavefunction.
