For hydrogen atom ground state
we know φ=π-1/2a-3/2e-r/1
I want to know the complex conjugate of φ* ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I need do a calculation for ∫φ*Tφdτ T is the kinetic energy operator , I did not how to type the ∧ over T

∫φ*Tφdτ
Is the integration variable T? What is T?
What do you think about the nature of the ground state wavefunction of H atom, is it real or complex?
 
T is the kinetic energy operator
integration is not variable T
I just want to know the complex conjugate of φ
I think i figure it out , due to the φ is real, the complex conjugate of φ is itself . thanks anyway
