Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.36E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the Schrödinger equation has a specific operator for kinetic energy and only a general expression,
Concept introduction:
An operation on a function is done by an operator. The operator gives mathematical instructions such as multiplication, division, and differentiation. A new function is produced when an operator is operated on a function. When a constant acts as an operator and operates on the function, it does not change the value.
