Let us assume a form of the trial wave function ψ=e–br where b is a constant. For hydrogen atom, V=-e2/r, so the Hamiltonian operator is Ĥ=-h2/8π2m V2- e2/r.The energy depends on r for the 1s state of the hydrogen atom so the angular portion of the Laplacian can be omitted and replaced by the factor 4π after integration. Therefore, the radial portion of V2=1/r2 (∂/∂r) r2 ∂/∂r. Solve the energy minimum of the hydrogen atom, E = -2π2 me4/h2.arrow_forward
