Special relativity; spaceship moving towards a planet [closed]
A spacecraft starts travelling from Earth, moving at constant speed, towards a yet-to-be-discovered planet, which is $20$ light hours away from Earth. It takes $25$ hours (according to an Earth-bas …

Normalizing a wave function [closed]
A particle with mass $m$ is moving in one dimension. The wave function of the particle is
$$\Psi(x,t)=Axe^{-(\sqrt{km}/2\hbar)x^2}e^{-i\sqrt{k/m}(3/2)t}$$
for $-\infty<x<\infty$, where $k$ and $A$ ar …

Normalized wave functions in position and momentum space
Using the following expression for the Dirac delta function: $$\delta(k-k')=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{i(k-k')x}\mathrm{d}x$$
show that if $\Psi(x,t)$ is normalized at time $t=0$, then t …

A wave function that is normalized initially remains normalized
Suppose that $\Psi(x,t)$ is normalized at time $t=0$. Show that this implies that $\Psi(x,t)$ is normalized at all other times.
I know that this makes intuitive sense, and we'd certainly want our …
