Expectation values — UPSC Physics Optional IFoS 2018 Paper II

Buy the PYQ solution manual

Consider a particle trapped in a box of width L and its \text{n}^{\text{th}} state wave function is given by \psi_n (n) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{L}} \sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{L}\right). Calculate the expectation value of the position <x> of the particle. How is this result different from classical consideration of finding the particle inside the box ?
