Estimate the ground state energy and wavefunction for a particle in a box using the variational method with the following trial wavefunction, where n is the normalization constant and β is a variational parameter that should be minimized. |ψ〉=nexp(−βx2) is this a good trial wavefunction for this approximation (justify your answer)? why is this not a good wavefunction? can you solve this problem both analytically and numerically?

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
