To confirm that a wave function is an eigenfunction of the Schrödinger equation, it must be operated on with the Hamiltonian to check if it returns the same wave function multiplied by a constant, specifically one of the energies E_n. The original post included a hard-to-read attachment of the work, which hindered clarity. A suggestion was made to provide a higher-quality scan or to use LaTeX for better readability. The feedback emphasized that the user's attempt did not directly address the eigenfunction verification process. Clear communication and proper formatting are essential for effective assistance in complex topics like quantum mechanics.
