hi,

if p is a solution of the schrodingers equation for the hydrogen atom then is pt? (where t is the time and p is the known solution) i don't no how to do this due to the complexity of the wavefunction in the first place

thanks

If p is a solution, then it has the correct dimension. p*t would then have the wrong dimension, as there would be an extra time dimension.
 
ah that makes sense thanks!
