| E = |
(7.4) |
| (7.5) |
And we thus have to solve Schrödinger's equation
| - |
(7.6) |
In order to treat this equation it is better to remove all the physical constants, and go over to dimensionless coordinates
| y = |
(7.7) |
Quiz What is the dimension of
? and of
![]()
?
(The dimension of
is
[
] = mass x length2/time.)
When we substitute these new variables into the Schrödinger equation we get, using
