In the quantum version of the infinite well, the energy eigenvalues can be precisely determined.

The energy is all in the form of kinetic energy, $E=\frac{p^2}{2m}$, and so, classically, the magnitude of the momentum should be exactly known as well.

But the peaks in $ϕ(p)$ have a finite spread (seen in Fig) enter image description here

Why does this happen?
