For the ground state of the Harmonic Oscillator and 2D Rigid Rotor
A. Give the time dependent wave function
B. Determine <x> and <p> for both the Harmonic
Oscillator and 2D Rigid Rotor
1)Consider a particle that is in the second excited state of the
Harmonic oscillator. (Note: for this question and the following,
you should rely heavily on the raising and lowering operators. Do
not do integrals.)
(a) What is the expectation value of position for this
particle?
(b) What is the expectation value of momentum for this
particle?
(c) What is ∆x for this particle?
2) Consider a harmonic oscillator potential.
(a) If the particle is in the state |ψ1> =...
The motion of an harmonic oscillator is governed by the
differential equation 2¨x + 3 ˙x + 4x = g(t).
i. Suppose the oscillator is unforced and the motion is started
from rest with an initial displacement of 5 positive units from the
equilibrium position. Will the oscillator pass through the
equilibrium position multiple times? Justify your answer.
ii. Now suppose the oscillator experiences a forcing function 2e
t for the first two seconds, after which it is removed. Later,...
A harmonic oscillator is in the ground state when the parameter
k DOUBLES without changing the wavefunction.
What's the probability that the oscillator is found in the new
ground state?

The Simple harmonic oscillator: A particle of mass m constrained
to move in the x-direction only is subject to a force F(x) = −kx,
where k is a constant. Show that the equation of motion can be
written in the form d^2x/dt2 + ω^2ox = 0, where ω^2o = k/m . (a)
Show by direct substitution that the expression x = A cos ω0t + B
sin ω0t where A and B are constants, is a solution and explain the...
