  1. Show that the average value of kinetic energy for a particle in one dimension having the wave function \(\psi(x)\) is \[ \langle \text{K.E.}\rangle = \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\int_{-\infty} ^ \infty |\psi(x)|^2\, dx.\]
  2. Obtain a similar formula for the average of kinetic energy in three dimensions for a particle if the wave function \(\psi(r)\) is independent of polar coordinates \(\theta, \phi\).
  3. Can one write down a similar result for the general case in polar coordinates when the wave fucntion depends on all the three variables \(r,\theta,\phi\)?
