Physics · Quantum Mechanics
Consider a free particle in one dimension described by the wavefunction: ψ(x, t=0) = A exp(ipx/ℏ) + B exp(-ipx/ℏ) The probability current density corresponding to ψ(x, t) at a later time t is:
- 1p(|A|2 + |B|2)m cos(p22mℏ t)
- 2p(|A|2 + |B|2)m
- 3p(|A|2 - |B|2)m✓
- 4p(|A|2 - |B|2)m cos(p22mℏ t)
Correct answer
p(|A|2 - |B|2)m
