Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Quantum Chemistry · Topic: Variation Method · Exam: CSIR-NET 2014 · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

For some one-electron system with $l=0$ and $m=0$, the functions $N_0 e^{-\sigma}$ and $N_1(2-\sigma)e^{-\sigma}$ refer respectively to the ground $(E_0)$ and first excited $(E_1)$ energy levels. If a variational wave function $N_2(3-\sigma)e^{-\sigma}$ yields an average energy $\bar{E}$, it will satisfy
(a)$\bar{E} \geq 0$
(b)$0 \leq \bar{E} \leq E_0$
(c)$\bar{E} \geq E_{1}$
(d)$E_{o} \leq \bar{E} \leq E_{1}$
