What is thePurpose of the litmus solution in the fat digestion experiment?

The litmus solution is used in the fat digestion experiment to indicate changes in pH as a result of the breakdown of fats by lipase enzyme. When fats are broken down, fatty acids are released, which can lower the pH of the solution and cause the litmus paper to change color. This helps to visually demonstrate the process of fat digestion in the laboratory setting.

How do you show that a wave function is a solution to the time- independent Schrodinger equation for a simple harmonic oscillator?

To show that a wave function is a solution to the time-independent Schrödinger equation for a simple harmonic oscillator, you substitute the wave function into the Schrödinger equation and simplify. This will involve applying the Hamiltonian operator to the wave function and confirming that it equals a constant times the wave function.
