In a book, I read that the wave function of a system should not become infinite in a finite region and also should vanish at infinity. For the first part I think that if wave function is infinite in finite region the normalization constant becomes zero due to which wave function vanishes. But I am not able to find the reason behind the vanishing of wave function at infinity. Please clarify this doubt.

3$\begingroup$ because the wavefunction integral must evaluate to 1, a finite value at infinity cannot sum to 1 $\endgroup$ – Cody Aldaz Apr 18 '20 at 17:46
