The three lowest eigenstates of some system are denoted by ø1 (x), ¢2 (x) and o3 (x) with corresponding eigenvalues E1, E2 and E3. The wavefunction V(x) is a superposition of the three eigenstates such that V(x) N[1 (x)+3¢2(x)+ 203 (x)], where N is a normalization factor. Assuming that the three eigenstates 01 (x), 2 (x) and o3 (x) are normalized and their eigenvalues are non-degenerate, what is the correct value for the normalization constant N?

The three lowest eigenstates of some system are denoted by ø1 (x), 02 (x) and 03 (x) with corresponding
eigenvalues E1, E2 and E3. The wavefunction (x) is a superposition of the three eigenstates such that
V (x) = N[01 ()+3¢2(x)+ 203 (x)], where N is a normalization factor. Assuming that the three eigenstates
01 (x), 02 (x) and o3 (x) are normalized and their eigenvalues are non-degenerate, what is the correct value for
the normalization constant N?
