Question

Having trouble understanding how to normalize equations so a step by step answer would be appreciated

[4] 2. The Harmonic Oscillator Hamiltonian is a good approximation to the Potential Energy Surface of a diatomic molecule around equilibrium. The Hamiltonian is given by 202 H = - 5 2 + 5*(R - R.)? (1) with u the reduced mass, k the force constant, R the variable describing distance between the two nuclei, and Re the equilibrium distance. The ground-state wavefunction of this Hamiltonian is given by (R) = Ne-(R-X) 12) with a = ku/h, N the normalization constant and X a parameter that needs to be decermined 1. Find the normalization constant N such that (R) is properly normalized malization cond 19, 2) 1² dx dy dz = 1
