Consider a quantum harmonic oscillator.
a. What happens to the spacing between the nodes of the wave function as |x| increases? Why?
b. What happens to the heights of the antinodes of the wave function as |x| increases? Why?
c. Sketch a reasonably accurate graph of the n=8 wave function of a quantum harmonic oscillator.
a. Derive an expression for the classical probability density for a ball that bounces between the ground and height. The collisions with the ground are perfectly elastic.
b. Graph your expression between .
c. Interpret your graph. Why is it shaped as it is?
For a particle in a finite potential well of width L and depth , what is the ratio of the probability Prob ( in at ) to the probability Prob ( in at)?
Sketch the wave function for the potential energy shown in FIGURE EX40.14.

Show that the constant b used in the quantum-harmonic-oscillator wave functions (a) has units of length and (b) is the classical turning point of an oscillator in the ground state.
