Presume that the trial wave function 1-ar-2 is chosen to


Presume that the trial wave function = (1-ar)-2 is chosen to explain the hydrogen atom, where A is a variable parameter. Assume that what is normalized. Explain the resulting energy expression for the hydrogen atom is E= a 2/5-a/2 in atomic units.

Determine the best value for the parameter a, for the energy and compare this to the exact value, E = -0.5 atomic units.
