Question
Consider the following statement about wavefunctions
A. The variational principle states that the best wavefunction provides the lowest possible electron-electron interactions.
- The orthonormality condition implies that: v, v, de = 8,
- The Kronecker delta, .., is equal to 1 if i is equal to j.
- In the bra-ket notation, the bra <n denotes the wavefunction while the ket |m> denotes its complex conjugate.
Which of the following is correct.
- a. B, C and D are true
- b. A and D are false, C is true
- c. A is false, B and D are true
- d. D is false, A and C are true
- e. C is false and A and D are true
