Physical dimension of a complex wave function.

536 Views Asked by At

If the probability density function $\rho$ is:

$$\rho=\psi^{*}\psi=|\psi|^2$$

where $\psi$ is a complex wave function that is a solution to the Schrodinger equation, what are the physical dimensions of $\psi$?

surly:

$$\dim(\rho)=\dim(\psi^2)$$

$$\dim(\rho)^{1/2}=\dim(\psi)$$

But what are the dimensions of a pdf?
