For the hydrogen atom and the trial function where a is a variational parameter, using atomic units, calculate the expectation values of the potential energy (the operator is 1) and the kinetic -1 d d energy (the operator is 14 (24) as functions of a. Add these to get dr) 2r dr the energy as a function of a, find the value of a for which the energy is minimum, and calculate the energy for this value of a.
