    Why is the ground state always symmetric?

    yes why does the ground state has no node? Can anyone provide a simple maths proof?

    Quantum mechanics ground state

    Can we always write the wavefunction as \psi_n(x)=N_ng_n(x)\sum_i{c_{n,i}x^i}? Why? Is there other simple proof for the nodeless property of ground state wavefunction?

    Why is the ground state always symmetric?

    But generally speaking, is it true that ground state must have no node? Why?

    First order phase transition (van der waals gas)

    I am looking at some of the notes but don't quite understand this. What are the physical explanation of the graphs (Fig 4(a) and 4(b)) on Page 4 ? http://www.pma.caltech.edu/~mcc/Ph127/b/Lecture3.pdf" Why V_{g} decreases with temperature but V_{l} increases with temperature?

    Quantum mechanics ground state

    Why must the ground state not have a node? And the first excited state must have 1 node.

    What Is the Tension of the String in Yo-Yo Motion?

    Homework Statement A yo-yo consists of two uniform heavy discs, each of mass M and radius R, connected by a light axle of radius a around which one end of a string is wound. One end of the string is attached to the axle and the other to a fixed point P. The yo-yo is held with its centre of mass...
