A particle of mass m and energy E moving along the x axis is subjected to a potential energy function U(x).
\((25\) marks) A particle of mass \(m\) and energy \(E\) moving along the \(x\) axis is subjected to a potential energy function \(U(x) .\) (a) Suppose \(\psi_{1}(x)\) and \(\psi_{2}(\mathrm{x})\) are two wave functions of the system with the same energy \(E .\) Derive an expression to relate \(\psi_{1}(x), \psi_{2}(x)\), and their derivatives. (b) By requiring the wave functions to vanish at infinity, show that \(\psi_{1}(x)\) and \(\psi_{2}(x)\) can at most differ by a multiplicative constant. Hence, what conclusion can you draw from the result?
