Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the statement that Hamiltonian operator is Hermitian is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

According to the Hermitian operator, an operator $\widehat{A}$ is Hermitian when,

${\displaystyle \underset{-\infty }{\overset{+\infty }{\int }}{\Psi }^{*}\widehat{A}\Psi dx}={\displaystyle \underset{-\infty }{\overset{+\infty }{\int }}\Psi {\widehat{A}}^{*}{\Psi }^{*}dx}$
