n =

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

A particle is in a one-dimensional box of length L = 1. The states shown are normalized. The results of the integrals that give <x> and <x2>, and <p> and <p2>.  You may vary n from 1 to 10.

  1. For n = 1, what are Δx and Δp?
  2. For n = 10, what are Δx and Δp?
