Next, we assume a solution in this form:

Which simplifies (according to my notes) to this:

In the middle equation, we have factorised out the F(t). My question is why is it wavefunction(x,t) rather than wavefunction(x). I first thought it was a mistake in the notes, but it uses the same equation later on.

Edit: And F(t) on the rightmost equation.

Probably just a typo. It should be ##\psi(x)##. Also, ##F(t)## is missing in the last term on the right in the last equation.

Cheers - yeah I forgot to mention that here but you're right
