Consider the wave function

where n is some positive integer. This function is purely sinusoidal (with wavelength k) on the interval —nk
and
, and determine their widths, wx and wp (the distance between zeros on either side of the main peak). Note what happens to each width as n → ∞. Using wx and wp as estimates of ∆x and ∆p, check that the uncertainty principle is satisfied. Warning: If you try calculating σp, you're in for a rude surprise. Can you diagnose the problem?
