    What is the Ground State Wave Function for an Electron in a 1D Potential?

    Homework Statement an electron moves in 1D and is confined to the right half (x>0) potential: V(x) = -(e^2)/(8piEx) E is the permittivity of free space the ground state wave function is Nxe^(-ax) N is normalization constant, and a is another constant needed to be determined Homework...

    QM: expectation value of a harmonic oscillator (cont.)

    Thanks for all the help on the first question but now I have to solve for <T>. I have no idea how to do this, and I could use some help for a kick start. thanks!

    QM: expectation value of a harmonic oscillator

    Alright thanks a lot! I have absolutely no idea how to find <T>. If you can give me a pointer in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for all the help.

    QM: expectation value of a harmonic oscillator

    first post! but for bad reasons lol Im trying to find <x> and <p> for the nth stationary state of the harmonic potential: V(x)=(1/2)mw^2x^2 i solved for x: x=sqrt(h/2mw)((a+)+(a-)) so <x> integral of si x ((a+)+(a-)) x si. therefor the integral of si(n+1) x si + si(n-1) x si. si(n+1)...
