The top two plots in the accompanying diagram show a Gaussian wave function ψ/(x) and its Fourier transform

A(k). (a) How does the ψ/(x) plot demonstrate that the particle’s momentum is roughly (109 m-1)h? (b) How does the A(k) plot demonstrate the same thing? (c) If you measured the particle’s, momentum, (109 m-1) h would be a likely value. Would (0.9 X 109 m-1)h be a likely value? Would (1.1 X 109 m-1) h? Would (0.5 X 109 m-1)h?(d) The bottom plots show two different Gaussian wave functions. Make sketches of their corre­sponding Fourier transforms.
