Homework Statement
One of the quantum mechanics wave functions of a particle of unit mass trapped in an infinite potential square well of width 1 unit is given by
Ψ(x,t)= sin([tex]\pi[/tex]x)e[tex]^{-i(\pi^2\overline{h}/2)t}[/tex] + sin(2[tex]\pi[/tex]x)e[tex]^{-i(4\pi^2\overline{h}/2)t}[/tex]\
where [tex]\overline{h}[/tex] is a certain constant. Calculate |[tex]\Psi[/tex](x,t)|[tex]^{2}[/tex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know to calculate |[tex]\Psi[/tex](x,t)|[tex]^{2}[/tex] I need to separate the real and imaginary parts, but I'm not sure how to get started.
