Homework Statement
Show that the function [tex]\Psi(x,t)=Asin(kx- \omega t)[/tex] does not satisfy the time-independent Schrödinger Equation.
Homework Equations
Time independet SE
The Attempt at a Solution
I think i have to solve for derivative of [tex]\Psi(x,t)/t[/tex] and second derivative of [tex]\Psi(x,t)/x[/tex] but I'm not sure how to answer the question.
I attempted to differentiate the wave function with respect to time and space so that i got
[tex]\partial\Psi(x,t)/\partial t = -\omega Acos(kx-\omegat)[/tex]
and that [tex]\partial^2\Psi(x,t)/\partial x^x = -kAsin(kx-\omegat)[/tex]
If so, how do i prove that the original function does not satisfy the TDSE?
