In this video, I solve an example problem in Quantum Mechanics which involves normalizing a wavefunction, finding expectation values, and then using those expectation values to verify that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle holds true.
This problem should solidify what we've learned so far in Quantum Mechanics.
