Example 1

Consider a particle moving in a potential field , (1) Prove the average energy equation: , where W is energy density, (2) Prove the energy conservation equation: , where is energy flux density:

Prove: the energy operator in three dimensions is: so the average energy in state is: , Using: , hence: Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle <E>=\iiint\left(-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\right)\left{\nabla\left(\psi^*\psi\right)-\nabla\psi^*\nabla\psi\right} d^3x+\iiint\psi^*\nabla\psi d^3x } ,
