Answer to Question #171801 in Physical Chemistry for ncssr

Question

If a quantum particle of mass m with the Hamiltonian operator H = (-h^2/(2m))d^2/dx^2 has the wave function W(x) = sin(3 Pi x/2), then its (eigen) energy is

Answer 1

The wavefunction for a given physical system contains the measurable information about the system. Solutions exist for the time independent Schrodinger equation only for certain values of energy, and these values are called "eigenvalues*" of energy. ...
