Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9D.3DQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The steps for calculating the energy of a system using variation principle have to be stated. The assumptions involved in the energy calculation have to be stated.
Concept introduction:
According to the variation theory, the lower the energy of a system the better is the approximation. Variation theory is based on the fact that any test system has average energy equal to greater than the ground state energy of that system. The advantage of the variation theory is that any wavefunction can be taken for any test system.
