Physics

The normalized wave function of an electron in a linearaccelerator is ψ = (cosχ)eikx + (sinχ)e–ikx, where χ(chi) is a parameter. (a) What is the probability that the electronwill be found with a linear momentum (a) +kħ, (b)−kħ? (c) What form would the wave function have if it were90% certain that the electron had linear momentum +kħ? (d)Evaluate the kinetic energy of the electron.
