Physics · Quantum Mechanics
In the linear variation method using two orthogonal basis functions, the two roots obtained are ε0 and ε1 (ε0 < ε1). The correct relation of these with the exact ground state energy E0 and the first excited state energy E1 is:
- 1ε0 ≥ E0 and ε1 ≥ E1✓
- 2ε0 < E0 and ε1 < E1
- 3ε0 < E1 and ε1 ≥ E1
- 4ε0 ≥ E0 and ε1 < E1
Correct answer
ε0 ≥ E0 and ε1 ≥ E1
