Chapter 12, Problem 12.52E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The point in each theory introduction, where an approximation is made, that ultimately leads to an approximate, not exact, solution is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Schrödinger equation is used to find the allowed energy levels for electronic transitions in the quantum mechanics. It is generally expressed as follows.

$\stackrel{⌢}{\text{H}}\Psi =\text{E}\Psi$

Where,

• $\stackrel{⌢}{\text{H}}$ is the Hamiltonian operator.

• $\Psi$ is the wavefunction.

• $\text{E}$ is the energy
