Homework Equations


P(E) = ∫φ*(r)ψ(r)dr from -∞ to ∞

The Attempt at a Solution


To find the probability, I know I have to use this equation:

P(E) = ∫φ*(r)ψ(r)dr from -∞ to ∞

My question is, what is the energy eigenstate, φ*(r)? Is it the measured energy they gave us? I don't have a full understanding of this.
If it is the measured energy, integrating it would just give me 0.
Thank you.
