In a certain region of space, a particle is described by the wave function $\psi(x)=C x e^{-b x}$ where $C$ and $b$ are real constants. By substituting into the Schrödinger equation, find the potential energy in this region and also find the energy of the particle. (Hint: Your solution must give an
The wave function of a particle is given by: ψ(x) = A cos kx + B sin kx where A, B, and k are constants. Show that ψ is a solution of the time-independent Schrödinger equation with V(x) = 0, and find the energy of the particle.

The wave function of a quantum particle of mass $m$ is $$\psi(x)=A \cos (k x)+B \sin (k x)$$ where $A, B,$ and $k$ are constants. (a) Assuming the particle is free $(U=0),$ show that $\psi(x)$ is a solution of the Schrödinger equation (Eq. 28.36 ). (b) Find the corresponding energy $E$ of the particle.
