Chapter 6: Q40E (page 1355)
For the ground level harmonic oscillator wave function given in Eq. (40.47), has a maximum at x = 0. (a) Compute the ratio of at x = +A to at x = 0, where A is given by Eq. (40.48) with n = 0 for the ground level. (b) Compute the ratio of at x = +2A to at x = 0. In each case is your result consistent with what is shown in Fig. 40.27?
Short Answer
(a) The ratio of at x = +A to at x = 0 is
(b) The ratio of at x = +2A to at x = 0 is
