= ∫_{-∞}^{∞} ψ*(x) (-iħ * d / dx) ψ(x) dx = -iħ ∫_{-∞}^{∞} ψ*(x) (dψ(x) / dx) dx = -iħ [ψ*(x) ψ(x)]_{-∞}^{∞} + iħ ∫_{-∞}^{∞} ψ(x) (dψ*(x) / dx) dx
= iħ ∫_{-∞}^{∞} ψ(x) (dψ*(x) / dx) dx If ψ(x) is normalized to unity,
= ∫_{-∞}^{∞} |ψ(p)|^2 dp It includes the following: Momentum Operator: The momentum operator is defined as -iħ * d / dx in position space. Multiplicative Nature: Any function of the momentum operator also has a multiplicative nature. Expectation Value of Momentum: The expectation value of momentum is calculated using the integral of the wave function multiplied by the momentum operator. Normalization: If the wave function is normalized, the expectation value of momentum can be simplified to the integral of the squared magnitude of the wave function in momentum space.
