Chapter 13: Q20P (page 651)
Write the Schr枚dinger equation (3.22) if is a function ofx, and (this is a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator). Find the solutions and the energy eigenvalues . Hints: In Chapter 12, equation (22.1) and the first equation in (22.11), replace xby where . (Don't forget appropriate factors of for the 's in the denominators of and .) Compare your results for equation (22.1) with the Schr枚dinger equation you wrote above to see that they are identical if . Write the solutions of the Schr枚dinger equation using Chapter 12, equations (22.11) and (22.12).
