Effect of Hamiltonian on Trial Wavefunction (II)
The Hamiltonian Operator for the Harmonic Oscillator is:
Consider a trial wave function (see Dykstra's 'Physical Chemistry, A Modern Introduction', page 252):
trial
=
0
+
1
where each of these tow contributors is an appropriate eigenfunction of the Hamiltonian. Is this combination an eigenfunction of the Hamiltonian? Please answer `yes' or `no'.
