- Consider the Schrodinger equation for a one-dimensional linear harmonic oscillator: -(hbar2/2m) * d2ψ/dx2 + (kx2/2)*ψ(x) = Eψ(x) Substitute the wavefunction ψ(x) = e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) and find ξ and E required to satisfy the Schrodinger equation. [Hint: First calculate the second derivative of ψ(x), then substitute ψ(x) and ψ′′(x). After this substitution, there will be an overall factor of e-(x^2)/(ξ^2) on both sides of the equation which canbe an canceled out. Then, gather all terms which depend on x into one coefficient multiplying x2. This coefficient must be zero because the equation must be satisfied for any x, and equating it with zero yields the expression for ξ.
