Wave function is the solution of the Schrödinger equation. But all solutions are not accepted. Which of the following solution is not accepted?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which property of the wave function, in the context of the Schrödinger equation, is not a valid criterion for acceptance of a solution. This involves understanding the fundamental requirements for wave functions in quantum mechanics.
Answer
B. Wave function must be infinite
The wave function must not be infinite for it to be an acceptable solution.
Answer for screen readers
The wave function must not be infinite for it to be an acceptable solution.
More Information
An acceptable wave function must be continuous, single-valued, and normalizable. Therefore, it cannot be infinite.
Tips
A common mistake is thinking that wave functions must be finite only in physical scenarios. In fact, they must always be normalizable.
