Answer #1

The wavefunction given is a solution of the schrodinger equation, if it it satisfies the equation. That is LHS= RHS. Please see below for the calculations:

Note that if the wavefunction satisfies the schrodinger equation, means the the eigenvalue is E or energy.

For d) The vibrational frequency formula is used. Note that since it is given in per cm units, we will use c= speed of light in cm/s unit . Also, mass should be converted to SI unit of kg. Using the relation 1 amu = 1.67 x 10-27 kg the conversion is done.

On solving the value of k = 492.99 Nm-1 or 493 Nm-1

Note that kg.m.s-2 = 1 N
