Question
Consider the Hermiticity of the following operators. Prove that the momentum operator is Hermitian. For simplicity you may perform this proof for a one-dimensional system (i.e., only consider functions of x. and consider only the P operator). Is the operator d/dx Hermitian? Prove your answer. Is the operator d^2/dx^2 Hermitian? Prove your answer. Is the operator H = - h^2/2m d^2/dx^2 + V(x) Hermitian if V(x) is real? Prove your answer.
