A particle is represented (at time t = 0) by the wave function

(a) Determine the normalization constant A.

(b) What is the expectation value of x (at time t = 0)?

(c) What is the expectation value ofp (at time t = 0)? (Note that you cannot get it from p = mdx/dt. Why not?)

(d) Find the expectation value of x2.

(e) Find the expectation value of p2.

(f) Find the uncertainty in x (σx).

(g) Find the uncertainty in pp).

(h) Check that your results are consistent with the uncertainty principle.
