Question

A 1D harmonic oscillator wavefunction is =

−



. (i) show that satisfies the

Schrṏdinger equation. (ii) Find the value of A, b and total energy. (iii) Is this a ground

or first excited state.​

Answer 1

Answer:

For a diatomic molecule, there is only one vibrational mode, so there will be only a single set of vibrational wavefunctions with associated energies for this system.
