The first Brillouin zone of an infinite chain of H atoms has an infinite number of crystal

Question:

The first Brillouin zone of an infinite chain of H atoms has an infinite number of crystal orbitals, each with a different value of k.

(a) State the limiting values of k within the first Brillouin zone.

(b) The figure below shows the real part of the wavefunction for a crystal orbital ψ(r) with a specific value of k (the positions of the H atoms are denoted by the black dots). Determine the value of k for this crystal orbital.

(c) Calculate the momentum of this crystal orbital.
