The Attempt at a Solution


I've posted a link to pictures. http://imgur.com/a/TKvUu
I'm not vera good at using LaTex yet :(
So I've shown that the wave equation satisfied the schrödinger equation, but I'm not sure how to find which A(p) will also satisfy the schrodinger equation? Any pointers?

No picture appears. You do not necessarily need to know or use LaTeX (although you should learn to do so); just typing it in text is OK, if you use, say, x^2 for ##x^2##, etc., You also need to be careful to use parentheses, so that you can distinguish between ##\frac{a}{bc}## and ##\frac{a}{b} c## (so, write a/(bc) for the first and (a/b)c for the second---rather than a/bc, which could mean either).

Updated, thanks. Is it okay to post pictures of my work to show my attempt?

I would never, ever, look at work that requires me to apply for membership to a website in order to view the images. Either upload it directly to PF from your own computer (as an attachment, for example) or type it out.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
