Part A
The expected value for position x is:
This result shows that the expected value of x is correct in the center of the box, which is to be expected from the symmetry of the square of the wave function around the center. The probability density of finding the particle in L / 2 is maximum.
Part B
Since the particle can go from left to right or from right to left with equal probability, the average is necessarily zero.
Part C
To solve the problem, we will use the following equation:
to solve the integral we made the following change of variable
Calculating the integral with the help of tables of integrals, you get:
