Hi abeedo! :smile:

Show us what you've tried, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help.

Start with Problem 1(a) and (b). :smile:
 
Hello Tiny-tim:)


Actually, my pen has been frozen when it met the paper:)

I have searched through 6 books in quantum mechanics , and nothing helps except (c) from problem 1...
 
Let's start with 1a. Has nothing to do with physics.

Differentiate [tex]V\left(\alpha \vec{r}\right) = \alpha^n V\left(\vec{r}\right)[/tex] wrt 'alpha'.
